Verdict

FLAMING CHARMER has a lot in his favour as he bids to repeat the formula that brought a success in this contest 12 months ago. He beat another Hobbs horse on that occasion and another, Atirelarigo, rates a danger here if fit on his return from a spell on the sidelines. The Kings Writ is unexposed but having won over 3m at Exeter this may not be enough of a test. Course specialist Beallandendall meets fitter rivals but his record here earns respect, whilst Vivaccio has been given a chance by the handicapper but rain would not help his chances. Oxwich Bay shaped well on his return here and would be expected to go close if building on that effort.
