Verdict
British Embassy was ahead of The King's Steed when winning at Beverley last month but ran no sort of race at Ripon only two days later. Josh Doyle steered both La Havrese and City Of Night to their recent wins in lower grade contests but sticks with the latter for this while Pickett's Charge finished closer at Thirsk last time and should be spot-on now having only his third start of the season. But MIDLIGHT (NAP) was only narrowly beaten at Ripon last time having plummeted down the weights in the last year and Richard Whitaker’s charge finally looks set to open his account off his current mark.
