Bling KIng, who scored for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2011, has been going quite well in France subsequently though has a long absence to overcome. Classic Colori completed a double in sellers at Wolverhampton and wasn't disgraced in a much better race back on Turf at Doncaster. However, he has around four lengths to find with FIELDGUNNER KIRKUP on that run and it's David Barron's charge who gets the nod as he loves testing ground. Dos Amigos has lots of potential and is having just his fourth start. He made a winning reappearance last season so the lack of a run since May shouldn't be a problem.
