Dropping into a seller for the first time. VICTOR HEWGO showed all was not yet lost when fourth in a handicap here eight days ago and he should still have the ability to win a race like this. Smadynium won over 2m here in April and has form over this longer distance. King Boru was claimed out of Dan Skelton's yard after finishing third in a Worcester claimer but is better on quicker going. Kilas Girl is less exposed than some but Darsi Dancer appears to be facing an impossible task on these terms.
