Verdict

This trip may well be ideal for KING'S CITY, who comes into this on the back of his best couple of efforts so far. The fitting of a visor may help the gelding stay focused and, given Luca Cumani's knack of improving horses as they step up in trip, there is a lot to like about his charge's claims. Glassalt and Moonlight Silver are a couple of others to consider in a weak looking race.
