Coutledge a good winner at Wolverhampton last time out over a slightly shorter trip, looks the one to be on in an open contest despite top weight with the ground remaining in his favour. Dragon king is from a yard which is just beginning to find it's form and he is well in on his best form and he could go close at a fair price. King Torus is another in good form but again he may find a less exposed horse to good for him in the closing stages. Victoria's Boy will love the ground and the booking of Tony Dobbin catches the eye.
