Kleitomachos has only gone up 3lb for his promising looking Newbury victory, but that was the first time he’d got his head in front for four years and he’s far from certain to follow up. Sunday Royal continues to put in solid performances without ever looking like breaking his duck and the consistent Communicator hasn’t won since 2012. In a weak-looking contest, WORDINESS could be the answer. He was dropped in class at Chester last time and finished a close fourth, so should be competitive in a similar grade her. See And Be Seen has a good record at this course and has place claims.
