Verdict

Conkering Hero is on a roll but is only one of several arriving off the back of recent victories. Road To Paris has won two of his last three, though previous runs on Polytrack temper enthusiasm. Imperium is lightly raced and looked as though he’d stay further when successful over 1m4f at Kempton. Gavlar will appreciate this drop in class and Fragrant Belle won over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford. COGITAL just held on for a first career victory over track and trip last month but that was his first run over 2m and only his third on the all-weather. He may be capable of further improvement and is only 3lb higher. Manton Warrior has won over 1m6f but disappointed when stepped up to this longer trip at Kempton.
