Forbidden Land is getting closer and a further step up in distance may well suit. Wild Thunder has been pretty consistent while Incinerator has already won twice, though has gone up a further 7lb and is upped several grades here. KINGBROOK got a bit warm before the start of a Group 3 at York last month and probably didn’t produce his best. He’d rallied to score over 7f at Ascot earlier and should appreciate the extra furlong in his first handicap. Windsor winner Lucander wasn’t disgraced under a penalty at Lingfield and shouldn’t be ignored.
