In depth
Verdict
Tellovoi, who has won 10 of his 101 races, ran well when runner-up in a claimer at Southwell last time and will be worth an interest back on Turf where he's leniently treated. Check 'em Tuesday won a poor handicap at Southwell but couldn't handle an extra 6lb at Kempton and has gone up another 2lb. THE KING'S STEED (NAP) followed a course and distance victory with another at Chelmsford then ran well under a penalty at Lingfield. He's back on his correct mark and can return to winning ways. Iberica Road only dead-heated in a Beverley seller last summer and hasn't run since August while Noneedtotellme is still a maiden after 17 starts though did a bit better when stepped up to this trip here last time. Cat Royale has dropped to his lowest ever mark and could snatch a place.
