In depth

Verdict

King's Mill took full advantage of a lenient mark when a comfortable winner over course and distance (now 6lb higher) last time. Neil Graham's charge will relish the easy ground and remains on a fair mark judged on the pick of his form. Champion Lodge is another to consider after a recent York success as he remains well treated while Broadway Score is lightly raced and is open to further improvement. The four-year-old will also appreciate the return to this trip after failing to get competitive over an inadequate mile last time. Stretton and Prize Winner have claims on the pick of their form and shouldn't be discounted in a tough contest.
