Kings Square, Here Comes Harry and Kyber are three against the field in another wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Kings Square. The selection was very disappointing behind Two Timing Gent last time but this faster surface looks sure to suit and off what looks a handy mark he looks the value bet in an open affair. Here Comes Harry rates the main danger on his latest second behind Son Of Tenby but he may just need the run after a 238 day absence and for that reason he is opposed. Kyber is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Tickateal but he just gave the impression that this distance stretched his stamina on that occasion and he is opposed for that reason. Perfect Balance is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he continues to rise in the weights without winning. Of the remainder, Double Royal ran well last time and will not be far away if he reproduces that effort but consistency is not his strong point and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Kings Square who at least has his optimum conditions.
