Verdict
King Supreme has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to get his head in front this time around at the expense of Looter and Asian Classic. The selection has not been out of the first three since his seasonal reappearance and caught the eye when second to Any Given Day at Salisbury last time out. He is now two pounds higher for his troubles but if repeating that form he can land himself in the winners enclosure this time around. Looter ran well to finish third of thirteen at Linfield last month. He is unexposed and is open to further improvement so any market moves should be noted. Asian Classic has failed to reach the heights of his connections expectations but is now in handicap company running off a realistic mark of 60 so is worth noting, but for the winner we return to King Supreme.
