THE KING’S STEED came out best in a scrap to the line at Chelmsford only four days ago. This looks less competitive and Shaun Lycett’s charge can defy a penalty. Tarseekh finally got off the mark when landing a Class 7 event at Kempton and Ertidaad’s earlier double came at the same lowly level. Rattle On won off a higher mark here at this time last year and Rocksette should be sharper for a recent comeback but Bookmaker was due to run here yesterday.
