In depth
Verdict
King's Welcome will find this a bit easier than some of the tasks he has faced of late, while the three-year-old Penny Pictures would also have a squeak if she gets an easy lead. Serotonin will need to improve again if he is to win off this mark, so a chance is taken with the unexposed Mojalid, who runs here in preference to three other entries this week. A winner over 10-furlongs at Salisbury, he left the impression he was in need of a step up in trip and can find the necessary improvement to land this.
