The progressive KING VIKTOR is due to be raised by more than today’s penalty having landed a hat-trick with four-length success at Redcar. He looks worth sticking with in this. Yagan is worth a second glance upped in trip for his handicap debut and Harrier Hawk is another that may improve for this extra test of stamina. The remainder are harder to recommend with Cordarosa perhaps best of the handicap debutants.
