      Verdict

      Mango Boy is fitted with blinkers after a below-par effort on the all-weather. This looks an even tougher task but KIng Lewlew makes his handicap bow after solid efforts for his new yard in maiden and novice company. Hot Chestnut produced an improved effort last time and Ascending could get involved on the back of a Goodwood win, although he's unproven on ground this quick. PERSIAN ROYAL and Two Tempting were only separated by a neck at Sandown over this trip and ground and it should be close again with the former taken to confirm the form as he looks the more progressive of the pair.
