Verdict
Three-year-olds have a good recent record in this and KIZ KULESI is the least exposed of those. He made a winning start at Newmarket last year but wasn't seen again until fading in the closing stages of his comeback run in soft ground at Haydock. Today's faster going and longer trip will both suit and the Godolphin colt gets the vote. Night And Dance scored at Bath before a below par effort last time and is another who will appreciate the return to decent ground while Destiny Of Dreams may have needed her recent outing at Windsor and looks to have every chance in this. Odin was all out to score at Salisbury last time and faces a tougher task here as does recent Chester runner-up Angel Gabrial.
