Verdict

Demora won this last year beating Masamah with Hawkeyethenoo well behind. The runner-up re-opposes on better terms this time round while the 2013 renewal was the last time Kingsgate Choice got his head in front. RED BARON won on this card in 2013 and finished second in the consolation race for this last year. He went close to defying a 4lb rise when runner-up at York a fortnight ago with a few of these behind having earlier got the better of Online Alexander, Barnet Fair and Confessional at Thirsk. Eric Alston's charge should make another bold bid in his current form. Fast Track is not out of this either while Boom The Groom usually runs his race and finished ahead of a below par Caspian Prince when third in the "Dash" at Epsom a week ago.
