Verdict
Not one favourite has won this in ten years. Elusive Flame hasn't won for a year but is 8lb higher due to her consistency. Dark Castle won twice over this trip but didn't quite get home when upped in distance and class at York. He can go well for Frankie while School Fees missed the break at Windsor on Monday and gets a quick opportunity to put matters right. MY KINGDOM and Nardin fought out a finish over the track and trip in June with the former prevailing off level weights. He's now receiving 4lb from the runner-up and has the assistance of 5lb claimer Ryan Tate and is taken to confirm the form and gain his eighth victory on his 60th start.
