Verdict

Kingscroft won over a mile here in July with Viva Ronaldo back in third and Fred Willetts and My Kingdom well behind. However, he has the worse of today's draw and, with stablemate Below Zero carrying a penalty for a win at Dundalk, Crown Counsel may have the best chance of Mark Johnston's trio. Mr David is closely matched with Lowther on latest running at Newmarket and both could figure along with Bohemian Melody, but a chance is taken on MON CADEAUX. He's finished runner-up in both starts over C&D this season but this is less competitive and Andrew Balding has won this race twice in the last four years.
