Race preview

KING SACRE couldn't lay a glove on Klitschko over C&D on his handicap bow last time out, but that was still a big step forward on what he'd shown previously. This is no penalty kick for Nigel Hawke's charge but he should still have more in the locker, and an ease in grade will do his chances no harm either. Clean Getaway is better known for his chasing exploits, as evidenced here recently, though he is still a player, as is Blackwater Lilly, who built on a promising Flat effort to hit the frame over track and trip earlier in the month.
