Verdict

Amazing Star popped up for a rare win on the Flat over C&D last month but has been well beaten since while I Confess managed to score outside of plating company for a change when winning over a longer trip here in February. He's also failed to figure subsequently, however, and preference is for MY KINGDOM. Ian Williams' charge won over 6f here last month and, despite racing off a 7lb higher mark today, he remains well handicapped on his best form of 2010. Indian Art has been beating lesser rivals in claimers recently and will find this tougher while Yankee Storm is upped in class after his recent Lingfield victory but should go well with Ryan Moore keeping the winning partnership intact.
