Verdict
KUDBEGOOD, who is 0-34 on Turf, competed a double here at the backend of last year and has continued in fine form despite his raised mark. He has an unfortunate habit of rearing out of the stalls but hopefully won't lose too much ground here. Koybig, four times a winner on the track, was staying on well behind him last time and should go close but Katiymann, who started favourite, had every chance. St George's Head scored over 7f last month though couldn't handle an 8lb rise on a return visit but the likes of Plum Perfect and Howyoulikethat are interesting from the bottom of the weights.
