Verdict

Glenbank King won last year’s renewal off a similar mark but hasn’t raced since September while Braes Of Lochalsh landed this in 2015 and returned to winning ways over 1m7f here last time having slid down the weights. Golden Jeffrey has won over 2m on the Flat while Luv U Whatever won an amateurs’ race over track and trip in May and is 7lb higher. FOUR KINGDOMS struggled over 2m in Class 3 company last time but had won over 1m4f at Musselburgh before that. Effectively racing off a lower mark today with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account, he gets the vote.
