Race preview
NEW KINGS ROAD fared best of those who raced prominently when only being worn down late on over a mile at Pontefract last month and, eased 1lb since, it would be no surprise if Richard Hannon's consistent handicapper returned to winning ways here. Great Chieftain must enter calculations having been dropped 1lb for finishing third over a mile at Newmarket recently, while Double Red and Tribal Chief are also respected in what looks a wide-open contest.
