Verdict
A rise in class off a 6lb higher mark proved beyond Court King at Exeter last time when bidding for a hat-trick. He’s been raised a further 3lb and FLED OR PLED is preferred. The latter came good in this grade at Towcester recently and further progress is expected from David Dennis’s charge now he’s got his head in front. What A Joke was six lengths behind the selection last time but re-opposes on better terms while Adios Alonso was placed at Worcester before failing to complete behind Court King last month. The remainder are harder to fancy.
