Verdict
VIOLA PARK arrives in fine form having won over today’s trip at Kempton with Mezmaar and The King's Steed behind before beaten only a neck at the same track last time. Ron Hodges’ charge also has the beating of Hic Bibi and Percy Toplis on collateral form and another bold bid is expected. Naralsaif has struggled since landing a hat-trick earlier in the year and Canimar looks no nearer winning while Tavener was due to run at Lingfield yesterday.
