Verdict
State Crown may need this run and prefers quicker ground while Man Of Light checked out quickly at Taunton in January when returning from a similar break. Harlem Soul won over course and distance at the start of the month, despite still showing signs of inexperience. The four-year-old has scope for further improvement but fellow novice LORD OF CHESHIRE (NAP) looks better handicapped on his defeat of Mister Marbles at Ludlow with the runner-up going one better at Taunton last week.
