Verdict
Entwined hasn't done a lot wrong so far this season but would benefit from a little respite from the handicapper and we're a little worried about his outside draw here. King Bertie has claims as he met trouble in-running on his Turf debut at Nottingham and still has a bit of scope while Kabbaas is fitted with blinkers after hanging at Lingfield last time. SAM SPADE raced too freely when favourite at Windsor last time and was a spent force inside the final furlong. He drops back a furlong here and has eased a little in the weights so is fancied to bounce back with a victory.
