In depth
Verdict
Winning jumper Dream Machine was having a first run on the Flat in more than a year when fourth at Salisbury and is 2lb lower now but is still giving 10lb to CARP KID taking into account William Cox’ claim. The latter is only a pound higher than when winning on Turf at Lingfield in June even though he’s continued to run well. Royal Partnership will be well supported as he’s the least exposed and only a pound higher than when winning a small race at Yarmouth in June while Lexington Force slips further down the ratings but Helian has switched stables and Cadeau D'or may not be suited by a drop in trip.
