My Kingdom is still well treated on his best form of last year despite a 4lb rise for his recent win at Wolverhampton when Restless Bay was well beaten. However, he's drawn out with the washing here and will need luck in-running along with another hold up horse in Sole Danser, who has also been in good form on the Polytrack. A chance is taken on ITALIAN TOM as he's gone close at Kempton recently and is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Sandown last August. Strictly Pink arrives in good heart on the back of a victory at Lingfield, while Paradise Spectre and Mon Visage make most appeal of those making their seasonal debuts.
