Verdict

ALL THE KING’S MEN will appreciate this return to a longer trip and a change of headgear may also produce improvement. He has every chance on his earlier placed efforts over 7f but Street Kid is upped in class and raised 3lb after winning at Haydock. Both Mitrosonfire and Abduction placed over 6f last time but the latter is at his best over today’s trip while Aratus had bits of form last year and makes a belated reappearance having undergone a wind operation.
