Verdict

A cracking finale and course winner Ikorodu Road could be interesting having found the company too hot in the Hennessy two weeks ago. Door Boy and Quentin Collonges are capable of running well fresh while Mistree Dancer has been in fine form lately and King Fontaine is very well treated on his best form. Time For Spring won at Sandown last month and Court By Surprise showed his turn wasn't far away at Fakenham, though he might prefer a softer surface. Night In Milan is back over fences for the first time since scoring at Kelso in May but he might be too close in the weights to stable companion CORKAGE. The latter is a bit of an enigma and was tailed off on his reappearance at Sedgefield but he has a much higher rating over hurdles and, something of a Doncaster specialist, could go very close in this if his jumping stands up to the test.
