Verdict
Mark Johnston has won this four times and is mob-handed again. Frankie rides King's Caper, who rattled up a hat-trick as a two-year-old and had a run in the Derby Trial at Lingfield 12 days ago. Andrea Atzeni partners Glenties, who is scheduled to make a quick reappearance after being knocked sideways at Goodwood on Sunday. Godolphin’s Bright Melody has only had two runs and could be anything while Hukum is equally unexposed. To Nathaniel and Win O'Clock bid to defy penalties and Kipps was well backed at Haydock but this can go to BODYLINE, who was finishing best of all over 1m2f at Yarmouth two weeks ago so will be relish the extra.
