        Verdict

        Iley Boy won at Wolverhampton last month but a 2lb rise proved beyond him when behind third-placed Hi There Silver at Lingfield last time. The latter should be thereabouts once again and The King's Steed won over a mile at Ayr before placing in a couple of subsequent outings. But ROCK’N GOLD finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when beaten only a head at Lingfield last time and he may prove the one to side with in this ahead of the lightly-raced Koubba.
