Arrives on the up and bidding for a hat-trick following recent 10f handicap wins at Ffos Las and Sandown. Had a bit up his sleeve on latter occasion so holds leading claims. Hood added.

Forecasts

King's Castle (5/4), Azahara Palace (15/8), Woodstock City (13/2), Imperial Cult (10/1), Chips And Rice (16/1), Tango Sunset (28/1)

David Simcock's hat-trick seeking KING'S CASTLE can race off the same mark as when a stylish recent scorer at Sandown so looks very much the way to go here. Chips And Rice appeals as the one to chase him home back in this sphere ahead of Imperial Cult and Azahara Palace.
