Forecasts

Comfort Line (3/1), Higher Kingdom (4/1), Hurricane Helen (5/1), Sneddy Eddie (7/1), Feature This (7/1), Chica Power (10/1), Jalo (12/1), Hieloray (14/1), River Derwent (16/1), Eastern Capital (25/1), Sayfa Fad (25/1), Well Suited (25/1), Ocean Bliss (33/1), Man Is King (33/1), Mysterious Maestro (33/1)

Verdict

It's been a while since HIGHER KINGDOM last hit the target, but he has slipped to a very dangerous mark as a result and left the strong impression that his turn may be near when a close fourth over 7f here three weeks ago. Stepping back up to a mile will be in his favour and he gets the nod ahead of Hurricane Helen and last week's C&D winner Comfort Line. Cases can also be made for Feature This and Sneddy Eddie.
