Verdict

It’s more than three years since KATPOLI last ran over hurdles but he has a rating of 118 over fences and should be too good for these if anywhere near his best. Bestiarius won a non-seller at Newcastle earlier this month but fifth Kings Creek enjoys a 10lb pull in the weights. Well Educated is also interesting dropping into this grade for the first time with the champion jockey booked.
