Lack of experience shouldn't hinder Balkan Kinght, who is a confident choice to overpower Pango , Jubilee Treat and Wiseguy. David Loder's colt left his debut run behind when bolting in at Beverley at the end of last season, and may well have been under estimated by the handicapper. Pango could turn out to be the biggest threat following a game victory at Epsom last week, while Jubilee Treat has to be respected following her comfortable beating of Kelpie at Ripon last time. Wiseguy, who has earned his big weight, will also make his presence felt, but Balkan Knight may just be a blot on the handicap .
