Verdict

Bay Knight had Juvenal back in fifth when scoring over track and trip on his recent reappearance. But it was soft ground on that occasion and Good Luck Charm makes more appeal on today's going. Kickingthelilly is usually thereabouts without being quite good enough while Storming and Cruiser have been taking it in turns to beat each other. It was the former's turn at this track last time but the latter is weighted to reverse running. MODERN TUTOR ran better at Chester than his finishing position would suggest and, looking to have more scope than most of these, Sir Michael Stoute's charge gets the nod to come out best on only his third start of the year.
