King Supreme is interesting as a well-handicapped horse whose last two runs are quite easily forgiven, but this test is probably sharp enough for him and it is very hard to assess his wellbeing at present. Likewise Abergavenny isn't weighted out of proceedings and this is much easier than the races he's contested of late but the percentage call is to oppose both and we'll do so in favour of DANGER MULALLY. Andrew Balding's charge is progressing well and although we can't conclusively say he stays after a Kempton second as that came in a two-runner race, what we know is that he's bred to and the horse is completely unexposed at middle distances. That Kempton effort was a decent one as he had to lead and took time so settle, and the three-year-old is taken to get the better of Sunny Future, a horse who stayed on without looking like winning last time and may just repeat that effort off the same mark. Resplendent Light and Wild Desert can't be ruled out despite looking to have their fair share of weight.
