      Verdict

      Jenson Benson won over track and trip back in February while Star From Afarhh scored here in the same month but disappointed at Lingfield last time. KENTUCKY KINGDOM is back on a winning mark and having gone close over course and distance the last twice now, he gets the nod to get his head back in front. Semser won off a higher mark here last summer and is preferred to Roscioli of the rest.
