        Verdict

        A runner-up at York last month, Pivoine has done all his winning over shorter trips so far. But King Of The South scored over course and distance at the start of the year and will be sharper for a recent comeback at Doncaster. The less exposed March Law has every chance after placing at Kempton but last year’s winner NICHOLAS T is taken to repeat that success. Jim Goldie’s charge beat Stargazer last season and again when successful in the Northumberland Plate here in June and can race off a similar mark today.
