In depth

Verdict

Frozen Over beat Mr Lando by a length at Ludlow 10 days ago but the consistent runner-up should reverse that form here with the winner carrying a penalty. King Alfonso may have beaten Mister Grez at Chepstow last month had he stayed on his feet while this is a drop in grade for Oyster Shell. War Singer is also eased in class and must have some sort of chance. He doesn't always find much in a finish, however, and probably needs some help from the handicapper. REGULATION was raised 15lb for beating lesser rivals at Market Rasen but couldn't have been more impressive. Neil King's charge may be open to further improvement so gets the nod.
