Verdict
Shan Dun Na Ngall’s winning run came to an end with defeat at Wolverhampton. He’d won over 2m at Newcastle before that, however, while Tasty Ginger has won over hurdles since scoring over a shorter trip at Windsor in August, his only success on the Flat so far. But it could pay to stick with the veteran KING OLAV in this given he’d slipped down the weights before scoring over track and trip last month and has won off higher marks here in the past. Par Three is back on a winning mark but has a bit to find with Shan Dun Na Ngall on recent form.
