Verdict

SEA OF KINGS ran well despite failing to justify odds-on favouritism on return at Doncaster last month and with this markedly longer trip in his favour, Harry Eustace's 4-y-o should prove tough to beat in first-time cheekpieces provided he copes with softer conditions. Trojan Soldier got the better of a tight finish for the second outing in succession at Ripon on Sunday and escaping a penalty, he looks the biggest danger.
