In depth

Verdict

A winner at Newcastle last autumn, Ruling Dynasty has no easy task on his reappearance conceding so much weight to KING OF THE PLAINS. The latter was beaten only a head over today’s trip at Yarmouth last week and can go one better. Cosmic Soul is going the right way judged on a better effort at Redcar. Governor Of India is out of a French Oaks winner and Capitano is a half-brother to a couple of Group winners.
