The Kings Assassin has been struggling to win off this sort of mark this summer and looks worth opposing again. The Wee Midget is hard to predict while Cubism may need another run and Regal Flow hasn't been seen since disappointing here in April. ORSM (NAP) was only beaten a length-and-a-half over course and distance in June and found the ground too tacky at Huntingdon subsequently. A P McCoy takes over the reins today and Laura Mongan's charge should be tough to beat.
