Verdict
KING'S PAVILION has attempted to make all in both starts but faded inside the final furlong on both occasions. A less frenetic pace over this longer trip should see him go close and he can confirm earlier running with Rockliffe. The latter has run poorly either side of a placed effort at Newbury so My Valentino makes more appeal after staying on for fourth over 6f at Carlisle last time. Rioca also made a late run to grab third at Beverley on her debut and should be thereabouts.
