Verdict
Not many can be ruled out here. Coachello won this race off 3lb higher last year and could figure for a place with a revival, while Accrual, Many A Star and Media Shooter are all C&D winners that would be dangerous to rule out. However, VALLEY OFTHE KINGS endured a torrid passage when he finished a close second to Intervention at Lingfield 13 days ago and he could reverse the form, armed with a 3lb pull.
Expert View Verdict
HAVANA RUM can make amends for an unlucky defeat last time where he was left with too much to do having met trouble. The handicapper has generously left his mark alone and he has been in good from since the summer. Last time out winner Intervention is feared most as he remains well treated on his old form while at a bigger price Kullazain is respected. He was highly tried in the summer and has plummeted quickly in the weights.
