Verdict
Ajrad’s Ascot conqueror, Lanquash, was just beaten in a Listed race at Doncaster last week but Ed Dunlop’s colt was a little disappointing when only third here next time. Majd Al Arab won at Chelmsford but probably didn’t beat much and KINGMANIA (NAP) is improving with experience. Her fourth at Pontefract may turn out to be decent form. Sonderbar got trapped wide at Catterick last time but Blue Hero was too keen over this trip at Sandown so has a bit to prove now.
