Verdict

BLAZING KHAL shoulders a 5 lb penalty for his Grade 2 success here last month, but he was well on top at the finish that day and is taken to uphold the form with Gelino Bello. The rest largely have a lot to find at this level, though Barony Legends won as his rider liked at LIngfield and is totally unexposed.
