Verdict

KING CHERRY seemed well suited by the switch to front-running tactics over this sprint trip when winning at Kempton last week and can follow up under a penalty. Asadjumeirah looks the main danger on recent form, though it's been a while since he's tackled turf, with Golden Prosperity taken to round out the 1-2-3.

1	Revitalised by the application of a hood/drop to a sprint trip when making all in a 11-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 7 days ago. Carries a penalty now but that rated as a career best and he has to be on the shortlist again. 1st Pick 1 King Cherry (Ire) Jockey: Chloe Lyons Trainer: Stuart Williams J: Chloe Lyons T: Stuart Williams	100	-	-	-	17%

10	In great form on all-weather this summer, winning twice over 6f at Newcastle and finishing runner-up in a 10-runner handicap over that C&D 18 days ago. Raced only once on turf in the past year but he'd be very dangerous from this lower mark if able to translate his form to this surface. 2nd Pick 10 Asadjumeirah Jockey: Alex Jary Trainer: Antony Brittain J: Alex Jary T: Antony Brittain	95	-	-	-	19%

11	Winner back in the spring and returned to form back down in trip when a close fourth of 8 at Pontefract (5f, good) 2 weeks ago. Backed that up with another creditable third of 10 at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, though doesn't tend to hold his form for too long. 3rd Pick 11 Golden Prosperity (Ire) Jockey: William Pyle Trainer: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood J: William Pyle T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	96	-	-	-	17%
