Verdict

The market will tell us what's expected of newcomers King Of Fashion and Sheriff's Star but this is quite a competitive bumper for the track. Cheekpieces could bring about some improvement from the four-year-old Zandino. Clonmel fourth Mullinavat is a winning pointer while Australasia has only found one too good twice around here. MICKLEGATE RUN beat more experienced rivals when making a winning start at Kelso and, with normal improvement, can defy his penalty.
