Going The Distance steps up in trip under a penalty after winning at Ffos Las. MIDAIR makes more appeal as he finished runner-up at Goodwood to a winner now rated 94 and can go one better in this. Not Me ran well at Newbury but Marching Thunder bled from the nose on last month’s debut. The King's General is related to a Listed winner and is preferred to Mina Rashid of the newcomers.
