        Verdict

        Former useful Hunter Chaser King Torus is clearly on the downgrade now, and he has something to find with Dragon King, on Southwell running. The latter is hardly the most consistent horse in training, but he should be good enough at the weights to take this. Daringly is little better than a plater, but should still be good enough to take the minor honours.
