      Verdict

      KELLY’S DINO has just come up short on each occasion he’s stepped beyond 1m4f but, now rated 105, he’s bordering on Listed class nowadays and the weights are compacted in this handicap. Karl Burke’s six-year-old is just preferred to three-year-old Almost Midnight, still improving judged on his second at Ascot. Outbox only found the prolific King’s Advice too strong over 1m6f at Goodwood and the latter’s trainer Mark Johnston runs the tough Aquarium, though this trip may be beyond his best. Corelli and Koeman were just behind the useful Baghdad on the Rowley Mile course here in the spring so can’t be ignored.
