    Verdict

    Aimeric has faced tougher tasks since winning at Doncaster in June and better is expected today while Sea King failed to threaten the winner when runner-up at Kempton though that was his first outing of the year. It could pay to stick with FULFILLED given he’s already won twice this year and was beaten less than a length when placed at Windsor recently. Sovereign Spirit looks high enough in the weights now while Benacre steps up in trip.
