Cam Hardie's allowance reduces a 4lb rise in the weights for KINGLAMI (NAP) after the latter won at Windsor last month. He beat Charles Molson on that occasion and Brian Gubby's charge can confirm superiority in the process of landing this. Langley Vale was only beaten a length at Goodwood a fortnight ago when ahead of Tarooq and can figure while Dominate has a shout on his earlier third in much better company at Ascot, though he should have done better last time.
