      Verdict

      KING’S ODYSSEY was having his first outing since March when finding only one too good at Stratford. A similar effort should see him go close in this with Theatre Guide looking the main danger. The latter posted one of his better efforts when placed at Aintree last month and looks capable of winning off his current mark but the remainder are hard to recommend. Milansbar, Smooth Stepper and Wild West Wind are all finding it difficult to complete a race though the latter has had wind surgery since last in action while Regal Flow has his second outing after undergoing a wind operation.
