Verdict

This is wide-open and only a tentative vote goes to KINGSWINFORD. He's joined David Evans' since winning this last year and scored for his new handler at Folkestone in April. Beaten in a couple of handicaps since, he should find this easier. Zomerlust has been in winning form in plating company of late but is drawn out with the washing here, as is Rigolleto, and they'll need things to go their way, but Jungle Bay and Jedward both have claims. Lockantanks is better on the all-weather though he's taking a big drop in class today and the three-year-old Bint Alzain has an outside chance.
