      Verdict

      Kingmax didn’t enjoy much luck in-running when behind runner-up Claymore in the Craven but didn’t appear to last home upped in trip in the Dante. REACH FOR THE MOON would be a hugely-popular winner for The Queen on Gold Cup day and he has the strongest form having run Tuesday’s St James’s Palace Stakes third My Prospero to a length-and-a-quarter at Sandown when in need of the run. Dee Stakes runner-up Cresta looks the pick of the remainder.
