In depth
Verdict
King¿s Bastion can get the better of Stir Crazy and Hucking Hill in this tricky nursery. A scorer at Kempton over the minimum trip in April, Hucking Hill has failed to win since but has ability. He may have to settle for a place here. A winner here in April, Stir Crazy ran well to be a close third to Lipocco on Thursday at Leicester. That was a good effort and he is respected here. A Lingfield winner in May, Kings Bastion has been running in better company since and was not disgraced when finishing a decent third at Bath last time. This looks an easier task and King¿s Bastion can make his class tell.
