Verdict
King Priam will take all the beating in this moderate company. He won over course and distance on 9 January, holding off a challenge from White Plains. He generally likes the course and can score again of 9st 1lb. Mi Odds should provide the greatest challenge. This Norma Macauley-trained course-winner has only raced twice since winning over the 12-furlong trip at Wolverhampton in October. Both trainer and jockey enjoy goof form at the course. White Plains has been well-beaten in seller since his second to King Priam. So precious won a seller at the course with Thursday's jockey, but is very inconsistent. Two Steps To Go has been moving up the ratings; he is not proven at the trip and was beaten by Kylkenny in a Class D race here recently, but he has won over a mile at Southwell. Trojan Wolf, another course-winner, hasn't got his head in front for over a year and has been trounced in his recent starts.
