Racing Post verdict
Third-partyKing's Cavalry is unbeaten since stepping into handicaps, with the form building nicely, and today's fast 7f test suits him well as he bids to make it three in a row. Spirit Of Saxony is the most obvious danger after missing the gaps he needed in a race last month that has since worked out strongly, while Jungle Ruler, a picture of consistency, was made to work hard for his latest placing and that effort may be better than it reads on paper. Richie's Rocket cannot be ruled out either, though he looks to have more to prove back in this grade. With only six runners, traffic should be easier to avoid, and King's Cavalry, with the scope to progress further, is selected to land a third success in a row.
