Verdict
Croeso Cymraeg scored over today’s distance at Salisbury last month when beating Eagle Court, though would have preferred some cut in the ground. Feud can go well again but a chance is taken that LION KINGDOM improves for this extra distance having found one too good at Newmarket - James Fanshawe’s colt gets the vote. Order Of Malta is another upped in distance while better is expected from Valsad after a poor effort on his reappearance but Vaynor needs further and Dubai Welcome hasn’t raced since last summer.
