In depth
Verdict
KICKBOXER looks the one to beat on today's terms. He had Borderlescott well behind when scoring at Haydock and ran well in Listed company at Ascot last time. Burning Thread finished just ahead of Tangerine Trees in a conditions race at Beverley last time and can figure but Viva Verglas has not raced since May and Once Chance remains out of form. Both Searchlight and Doc Hay have a tough task at the weights.
