Sat 5th Sep

Formscan  - Not at his best over a mile last time, MR KING scored over C&D in June and endured a troubled passage when finishing a close-up eighth at York when last seen over 7f. Geoff Harker's charge is taken to bounce back here at the chief expense of Imperial Guard. The latter rattled-up a hat-trick at Ayr in July and looks fairly treated on that form, while Stanley Spencer steps up from 6f with a shout.
