In depth

Verdict

The Bonus King has claims at the weights but has yet to prove that he is as effective over this trip as over shorter and it may be worth taking a chance on the fitness of the reappearing Terenzium, who is preferred to Kings Topic. The last mentioned disappointed here last time but has claims on earlier form although he may now be a shade high in the weights. The handicapper has taken time to lower Lucius Verrus to a fair mark and would have claims if able to reproduce his best, while Choristar may do better returned to the Polytrack having seemingly not handled the Fibresand last time. Bond Diamond has dropped to a fair mark but has given little cause for optimism of late, while Band is capable but may be in need of the run. Lack of a recent run should not be of concern for Terenzium though with the yard of Luca Cumani in such good and he may be worth chancing on his reappearance off a light weight.
