Verdict

KOKBASTAU is heading in the right direction and his wins at Southwell and Kempton certainly captured the imagination. A 14lb rise for the latter does look fairly harsh. However, he reverts to turf as an unexposed handicapper with the potential to be well above average. Notably, his main rivals My Love Is King and King's Charter have something to prove with both trying new headgear, while Crown Of Oaks has a first-time tongue-tie applied and needs to bounce back from a modest effort on his seasonal debut at the Curragh.
