High draws often do well in this event so from stall twenty six COSI BELLO (14) can enhance a promising record of three wins from five starts. Ran well at this track last July before returning for this campaign with a narrow success tackling the trip at Haydock during April. Rates highly. RIVER KING (21) brings a consistent profile including a convincing 3. 25L victory in a class four 1m handicap at Newbury two weeks back. Makes appeal. THE WIZARD OF EYE (2) ticks plenty of boxes being two from three over course and distance following a 1L success in the Victoria Cup Heritage Handicap. Every chance. HICKORY (25) maintains a good Ascot record and might feature. ELARAK (6) is another with a high draw and is expected to improve further. Looks one to note.
