In depth
Verdict
Red Kingdom was driven out to score here on Saturday under Jason Maguire and the combination has strong claims once again despite a 7lb penalty. However, he's down by around half a mile in trip here and may struggle to concede 12lb to MYSTERIOUS WORLD who hacked up here last time in early June. The Hogarth inmate could hardly have been more impressive, boasts a good record at this track and can defy a massive 13lb rise for that success. Pumboo, second that day, has place claims once again, whilst Crackerjack Lad, back in fifth, can be expected to get closer this time for Lucinda Russell.
