Verdict

Plenty here hold strong claims, though former Royal Ascot winner SIGNIFICANTLY perhaps makes most appeal. The five-year-old appears to have been freshened by a recent stable switch to the fine Julie Camacho yard and has the benefit of useful claimer Ryan Sexton offsetting some of the weight added for his recent Haydock win. Recent C&D winners The Big Board and Rhythm N Hooves could well prove capable of improving further, whilst Kimngrace, Khunan and the returning Dusky Lord also merit respect.
