Verdict
The Kings Fling gets the vote here with Galapiat Du Mesnil put forward as the one most likely to chase our selection home. Polly Gundry is a positive jockey booking and whilst The Kings Fling is very much something of an unknown quantity, he does have encouraging point-to-point form and he looks the one they all have to beat. Galapiat Du Mesnil is the danger as he has an abundance of stamina and he will be staying on at the finish. The market could provide us with all the clues here with Real Value and Unlimited Free others to consider, but we are happy to take a chance on The Kings Fling.
