      Verdict

      STRABINIOS KING made light work of the opposition last Monday and he can do so again with Kensington and Triple Axel the most feasible opposition. Due to go to the sales next month, Strabinios King landed some hefty bets last time out and on that evidence, a 6lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop him. Kensington has the blinkers removed this time. He has won well previously at the track albeit with headgear. Triple Axel has been a longstanding maiden before joining Jeremy Noseda. Victory at Southwell put a stop to that. Montiboli is inconsistent though the booking of Jamie Spencer is an obvious draw today. Cornus has a rare away day from Lingfield Park. Dancing Maite represents a yard that have enjoyed some success this winter though he may be weighted to the hilt at present. Lord Deevert is exposed at plating levels. Strabinios King gets the vote.
