Verdict
Better Off normally goes well here, but he has yet to convince over this trip, while Hormuz may find it difficult to lead from his draw. A chance is taken with course and distance winner Bold King, who has struggled with the handicapper for some time. This represents his easiest task since winning here as a two-year-old and if anywhere near his old form, he would pick these up and carry them.
