In depth

Verdict

Sun King is taken to follow up his win in a conditional jockeys race at Wetherby. This does not look the strongest of events, and will have the benefit of the champion jockey. Bumper winner Roky Star, has yet to shine over hurdles, while there should be better to come from General Gossip who had a subsequent winner behind him when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Sandown.
