Verdict

FOX JOURNEY won in the style of a colt going places at Newmarket and is selected to make light of a 9 lb rise. Andrew Balding has won this 3 times since 2017 so his course-scorer Kadovar has to enter the reckoning under William Buick. Handicap-newcomers Balance Play, whose Salisbury reappearance form looks strong, and Torito complete the shortlist in this good-quality 3-y-o handicap.
