In depth

Verdict

King Charles was well beaten here between winning a couple of amateur races while Estrela Star’s only win on Turf so far came in amateur company. LONGVILLE LILLY hasn’t won anywhere yet though was beaten only a head over track and trip last month and it could be her turn at last. Hurdles winner John Betjeman has yet to score on the Flat in 20 previous attempts while Hammy End steps up in trip after placing on the all-weather.
