Verdict
Boater and Top Score drop back down in class but both are penalised for earlier wins. That hands the advantage to KODIAC KHAN, a modest third at Chelmsford on his debut though the runner-up has subsequently won. Hugo Palmer’s charge is also preferred to Alligator and Spun Gold, who were both beaten a long way on their respective debuts, while Jumira Bridge and Mubtasim make more appeal than early Derby entry Single Estate of the newcomers.
