Expecting King Potter to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. KING POTTER (13) is first-up here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to feature in a race like this. Can run a big race while fresh. I AM A MARVEL (8) has placed over this course and distance and will strip fitter third-up from the break. Top-three aspirations. LIMERO (5) is usually thereabouts and looks one for the exotics players. Right in this contest decimated by scratchings. A LOT OF BOOTY (4) gets some weight off from the low draw and cannot be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Potter to return a winner.
