      Verdict

      KING CALVIN has to give 6lb to his rivals but should be up to the task. He beat a subsequent dual winner in a maiden at Wincanton in March before chasing home a smart prospect at Exeter. Equus Flight has struggled in a couple of runs at Chepstow but may do better on quicker ground. Paul Nicholls runs once-raced pair Bubble O'clock and Earth Leader and the market will probably indicate which is likely to do best.
