In depth
Verdict
All Kings is 0-18 but won't mind the conditions and this could be his trip. Leg Lock Luke is probably better over further while Tikkapick has run poorly the last twice though probably found the ground too sticky. Touch Screen is now on a lower mark than his last victory and will be better for a recent run over hurdles though DANBORU (NAP) looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark under Rules. A winning point-to-pointer in Ireland, he only just failed to concede 21lb to Two Hoots on his return from a long absence at Sedgefield and compensation awaits.
