In depth
Verdict
Plenty in with chances but King's Reign can continue Nigel Twiston-Davies' good run of form, the danger being Jonjo O'Neill's Canal End. The drop in trip from his Huntingdon run should suit the selection. Canal End is lightly raced and the handicapper is beginning to relent. Others to consider are Bally Lir Lady, who appeared to stay on her last run, which was over course and distance. Plenty of others can lay claim to place hopes but following King's Reign, from a stable in form, could reap the desired rewards.
