In depth
Verdict
Keeneland has won three times over 2m1f, including here last month. But he finished tailed off on his only previous try over this longer trip. ALLOW ME finished a long way ahead of Walser when second to Keeneland's stablemate Sealous Scout over 2m6f here earlier in the month. He can go one better today as Catterick winner Patavium couldn't handle the weight rise at Sedgefield next time. Mubrook is well treated on his best form but has been misfiring this season.
