Longlai hung under pressure when second at Doncaster but much more professional when third at Goodwood and it would be no surprise to see the King Power colt go one better today. INVEIGLE finished last of eight finishers at Ascot but had a very rough passage and was eased in the closing stages. He’s attracted market support that day and can recoup losses here granted better luck in-running. Beautiful News is another likely improver and Touchwood is from a successful family so is worth a market check.
