Race preview

A chance can be taken on top-weight KENTUCKY RIVER, who didn't run too badly when fourth over 1m2f at Newmarket last month. The son of Camelot is a half-brother to Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist, so this staying trip could unlock plenty of improvement and he's on a fair mark if it can work the oracle. Hamilton scorer Hi Ya Mal gets the services of a red-hot Oisin Murphy today and merits the utmost respect from 4lb higher while Synergism, who is 3lb well-in having been narrowly denied at Lingfield latest, is also noted.
