In depth

Verdict

Hot Summer, second at Newmarket and Ffos Las in his first season, would be a topical winner given the weather of the last few weeks. Baarrij was staying on nicely over 7f at Yarmouth once the penny dropped and improvement should be forthcoming over this trip. Sir Michael Stoute unleashes the Shamardal colt Shamaroon but it’s another newcomer, KING’S KNIGHT, which catches the eye on breeding. He’s a half-brother to three winners around a mile and Charlie Hills can get one ready at home. Party Planner should be interesting when qualified for handicaps.
