Verdict

A competitive 3-y-o handicap, with the bottom-weight KRONA fancied to land the hat-trick after completing a quickfire double on AW in February. Gozo took a significant step forward on his handicap debut at Haydock last time and is feared most, with Nader King also open to progress stepped up further in trip.
