The much travelled KING’S ADVICE (NAP) won three times when trained in Germany, had just the one outing in France last year and made a winning start in this country when making all at Lingfield earlier this month having switched to Mark Johnstons’ yard. Joe Fanning could afford to ease him down in the closing stages and still win by three lengths though different tactics may be adopted today from a wide draw. Unit of Assessment won cosily over track and trip last month and is also drawn high while Galactic Spirit wasn’t beaten very far when only fifth here recently and Lawn Ranger has a shout off his current mark.
