In depth

Verdict

Eight of these plus the three reserves have all won around here. Falak's double here early last year came over 2m so he's likely to find this too short while Liquid Luck's lone success came over 7f. House Of Kings won a 1m4f claimer but has twice been narrowly beaten over this trip subsequently, including when less than a length behind Kingslayer earlier this month when the winner was gaining his first success on his 15th start. The latter should just about confirm the form on the revised terms while Lord Mczie should make a bold bid to complete a double initiated last month despite being 7lb higher with his rider's claim taken into consideration. TOOREEN ANGEL was conceding him 16lb in that latter event and will be 8lb better off so gets the nod to return to winning ways.
