Verdict

It would be churlish to dismiss City Tour in haste, the back-to-back Kempton winner having had the form of his most recent win boosted since, but both Battle Of Marathon and PIRATE KING have strong claims at this venue. The former has been a model of consistency recently and showed a willingness to scrap for his latest C&D success. Charlie Fellowes' runner had his number when they met here in December however and is better off on these terms, earning him the verdict in what should be a good contest.
