Bond Street Beau is creeping closer as he slips further down the weights and can figure while King Of Rooks has an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today, though hasn’t won since 2015. MAGICINTHEMAKING found one too good over 7f last time but has won twice over today’s trip at Chelmsford since joining John Long and another bold bid looks likely. Elliot The Dragon only won a lowly Class 7 sprint here last month but Monarch Maid is usually in the mix at this level.
