Race preview
TORCELLO has relished the change in ground and completed a 1m2f double when making all with ease in the mud at Epsom last weekend, coming home six lengths clear of his rivals and with enough in hand to suggest he can defy a 5lb penalty to complete the hat-trick here. Crystal King is respected as he's dropped in class for Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore but has no margin for error under top weight and the main danger to the selection may be Lightly Squeeze. Harry Fry's charge returned from a layoff with a comfortable victory at Haydock over a similar trip last month and has scope for improvement.
