Verdict
This is tougher than the race Royal Bajan won at Kempton last time while Kingsgate Choice has gone up 7lb for bringing his long losing run to an end on the Polytrack at Lingfield last month. WHAILEYY was returning from a two month absence when fading badly in the closing stages of a better race at Newbury on his latest start and should be sharper for the outing. His earlier second to Alben Star is the best form on offer and Marco Botti's charge gets the nod. Bertoliver makes most appeal of the remainder if back to his best.
