Verdict
Mishko won over a shorter trip here in May but has struggled on Turf since and attempts 2m for the first time. King Olav landed a double over today’s trip at the turn of the year and is 4lb higher while Wintour Leap was placed over 2m at Kempton last month when a length ahead of WOOFIE. But the former has yet to win on the Flat and Laura Mongan’s charge is taken to reverse running on only his second start over today’s trip. Topalova has a shout on her second over course and distance back in April.
