Verdict
This looks a wide open handicap and we'll take a bit of a chance on KING'S COLOUR, who looks weighted to go well after a good run at Ascot last time, ahead Seasonal Cross and Flashy Photon. Lightly raced the pick proved he can be effective on turf with a good run in a Lady Riders' handicap at Ascot last time when four pounds worse off. He knows how to win and if he can build on that last effort he has a decent shout. Seasonal Cross is still a maiden after 13 starts but has been in contention in each of his last six runs. The handicapper has done him no favours adding a pound to his load for finding just one too good last time but place claims are abound once more. Flashy Photon hasn't had much racing and Henry Candy's runner looks well treated now after shaping a bit better last time. Dilli Dancer is from a yard wildly out of form but isn't handicapped out of this and while it's hard a form a strong opinion about any of these King's Colour looks value.
