In depth

Verdict

King Kurt appeared to appreciate the step up in distance when getting off the mark over 1m4f at Catterick last month so a return to this trip may not be in his favour, though this is a stiff track. Cape Of Dance appeared to resent the fast ground on her reappearance at Haydock and may be worth another chance but Galloping Queen and Scented, out of the frame behind Certral at Newcastle last time, aren't progressing and U A E Storm will do well to break his duck here after a break. ABIDHABIDUBAI looks to be facing a similar task as to when successful at Nottingham last month. She has yet to prove she stays this far but probably has a bit more scope than today's rivals.
