      Verdict

      Heure De Gloire had every chance when falling at the last here in February and won over course and distance two runs ago but he has become hard to predict. Successful twice over track and trip recently, PILGRIMS KING looks capable of defying a further 6lb rise to complete the hat-trick even though Zucayan made a winning start in handicaps at Ludlow. Dinsdale may be best of the rest.
