Verdict
House Of Kings dropped into this grade for the first time at Newmarket and did well to be beaten narrowly as he didn't get the best of runs. Wild Hope loves fast ground, as he's already proved twice this season, and has only been raised 1lb for last month's victory at Ayr. Barossa Red showed potential on Turf at this time a year ago but disappointed on all-weather surfaces earlier this year and returns from a break. HOLD STILL, a winner at Kempton in November, reappeared with a very good run at Sandown and hasn't had the best of luck in subsequent races. He looks on a fair mark and gets the vote.
