Verdict
Barry Hills complicates matters by saddling two runners here and the newcomer Line Drawing may fair better than Mouftari, who is not certain to go on the ground, but the vote goes to Geoff Wragg's Larkwing. The selection hails from a stable with a good record at this meeting and comes here on the back of a respectable second to the impressive Bull Run at Windsor. He gets the vote from a favourable draw in stall two. Being by Unfuwain, Line Drawing should go on the ground although lack of a previous outing is of concern. Stablemate Mouftari has to be respected, along with John Gosden's Iktitaf but both need to improve on their form to trouble the selection. The remainder make limited appeal in a race that is taken to go to Geoff Wragg's Larkwing.
