      Verdict

      It could pay to stick with PIRATE KING (NAP) in this. Charlie Fellowes’ charge bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having scored in this grade last time and he beat Battle Of Marathon with a bit to spare back in December. The latter has gone on to win three times here, though Blowing Dixie re-opposes on better terms for last week’s length defeat. City Tour, fresh from landing a double over 1m3f at Kempton, can also figure.
