In depth
Verdict
Nifty Kier was winning for the first time in 20 starts when successful at Yarmouth last week and makes little appeal under a penalty. Benoordenhout is less exposed but up 7lb for winning over track and trip last time. WITH HINDSIGHT also won over course and distance last month having tumbled down the weights. He remains on a decent mark despite a 4lb rise and can go in again. City Of Angkor Wat has over three lengths to make up with the selection though re-opposes on better terms while Bourbon Prince gets a first-time visor after going close here last time and may also figure.
