Very moderate fayre here and caution is advised, with the suggestion being
ATLANTIC KING. Nigel Hawke's four-year-old does has a little to prove after failing to complete when stepped up to this trip last time, but he previously went well from a higher mark than today and he could do better this time.
Black Narcissus is a potential threat from her current mark, but it won't be easy shouldering 12st successfully in this ground. Steel Native is another with obvious claims after a win last time, though consistency has not been his strong suit.
Alberto's Dream is not completely ruled out in first-time headgear, though based purely on his own reappearance he is not one to be lumping on.
- Atlantic King
- Steel Native
- Black Narcissus
