Verdict
Say Grace won a Wolverhampton seller in February and this isn't much stronger. Wallaroo didn't run badly in a 6f Doncaster maiden and should find this more to his liking though it's HISTORY WRITER who takes the biggest drop in class. A Listed winner at Saint-Cloud back in 2019, he's a long way from that sort of grade nowadays but ran in a Class 3 Ascot handicap last time and this won't take much winning. Seventh Kingdom was placed in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes in 2020 but he's finished last in five of his last six starts and only beat one home in the other.
