In depth

Verdict

It's interesting that Alan King has chosen to run Kassala from a few pounds out of the handicap and the mare's run last time when pulled up was too bad to be true. On previous form she should go close and is worth another chance. Fullopep could be the biggest danger as he goes well this time of year and loves the sun on his back. With a nice break behind him Fullopep could be a big danger. The Negotiator won well at Wetherby last week but this shorter trip is not certain to suit and he may be taken off his feet, whilst Special Agenda has a stiffer task than when scoring at Newton Abbot last time.
