In depth
Verdict
This looks tougher than the contest Summer Bounty won at Pontefract last time and the extra 6lb may just find him out here. But Kingsdon has long promised to deliver something like his latest performance when winning at Ripon, and his confidence will have been done the world of good for that outing. Liam Keniry takes a handy 7lb off his back, which will account for the rise in class. Young Un always has to be feared at this level and along with Tight Squeeze and Amritsar, is also respected.
