King Viktor is seeking a fourth win of the campaign and is probably still improving. Oot Ma Way has been consistent but steps up in trip and remains winless. OUT OF SIGHT is also trying a new distance but certainly wasn’t stopping when making all over 1m2f on soft ground at Lingfield and Stefano Cherchi takes off 3lb again. Raqisa didn’t beat much at Thirsk and Hellenista may have more scope.
