Verdict
RULERS KINGDOM is the most exposed of these but has won both starts since the turn of the year. Mark Johnston’s colt has been raised a further 4lb but there is still more to come from him. Several go handicapping for the first time including novice winner River Song, who is preferred to Schmoozie and Kodiellen while Fleet Street drops down a grade with an apprentice taking 7lb off her back having switched yards and she makes more appeal than Thomas Lanfiere.
