Verdict
HIGH ON HOPE, who supplemented a Chelmsford triumph with a cosy win over C&D, is a key player bidding to compete a hat-trick from bottom weight. He is back up in class and this isn't a straightforward task, but he is worth sticking with. The Lost King resumed from a break to score over 7f here and is a big threat if in the same mood, with Oisin Murphy reunited to judge the fractions back over a mile. Popmaster and Nikovo should also be thereabouts.
Expert View Verdict
The race in which THE LOST KING beat Popmaster four weeks ago holds the key to this, with that looking strong form and the winner taken to confirm his superiority following just a 1lb rise. Although that race was over 7f, he did really well to come from the rear off a steady pace and there's good reason to think he'll be even better back up to 8f. Popmaster should again go well but doesn't win as often as he should. Still, along with High On Hope, progressive at a lower level, and Sovereign Sea, back from a break and perhaps set to be suited by the drop in trip, he rates one of the main threats.
