Verdict

Hard to look beyond the 3yos in this contest, with last week's Bath winner LENNON narrowly preferred to Salisbury-scorer New Kings Road, the pair both completely unexposed in handicaps. Mount King wasn't at his best at Wetherby last time but his previous Thirsk effort means his completes the shortlist.

  1. LENNON (FR)
  2. NEW KINGS ROAD (IRE)
  3. MOUNT KING (IRE)
