      Verdict

      Running Cloud has been placed the last twice off this mark and shouldn’t be far away again. Arigato won over 7f at Newmarket in May and has made the frame in all subsequent starts, though has been done no favours by a 4lb rise since his last run. KING’S SLIPPER was backed off the boards at Windsor on only his third start and didn’t disappoint. He only had to be shaken up to go readily clear and looks the sort to do well in handicaps over this trip. Khazix appeared to show massive improvement at Windsor but they all finished in a heap that day and the form may be suspect. Antagonist showed promise last year but ran a shocker on his only start this season, though the booking of James Doyle suggests better is expected here after a break.
