Verdict

A good race for the grade/time of year but it is hard to get away from JUMEIRAH KING, who quickened clear in quite impressive fashion under a hands-and-heels ride at Worcester 9 days ago and looks very well-in under a penalty switching to a handicap. Hat-trick seeker Melton Mossy looks the type to go on improving despite racing from 6 lb out of the weights, with in-form pair Feel The Pinch and Finest View others to take seriously.

  1. JUMEIRAH KING
  2. MELTON MOSSY (IRE)
  3. FEEL THE PINCH
