Verdict

King's Slipper has shown a liking for this place and is respected, though he's gone up 3lb after finishing second on his final 2018 run here. The market should reveal his readiness for the return. Merchant Of Venice is on the shortlist alongside January C&D winner Divine Messenger, the beneficiary of in-form claimer Seamus Cronin's help now, but the form LA MAQUINA's win last month over 7f here is working out nicely. That was his first outing after a wind op and there's a good chance of more to come, ensuring he gets a confident nod.
