    Verdict

    Warrigal made a winning start at Kempton but has been disappointing subsequently and could only finish runner-up in a handicap at this level there last time. Hunting Ground's last two runs have been over 2m and his latest success came over even further so this small field is hardly likely to play to his strengths. The same can be said for KINGS BAYONET, who has won over 2m4f over hurdles but he was having only his third start in two years when a very good third to Civil War over 1m6f at Goodwood and hopefully he'll have enough pace for this.
