Verdict

Veteran Bennys King hasn’t won a handicap in more than three years but ZHIGULI is back in this grade and on the same mark as when scoring at Sandown in March. Quel Destin’s yard is also going great guns but he is blinkered for the first time having shown little interest on his first run since wind surgery at Ascot.
