Wetherby sees the return of Coneygree and Lil Rockerfeller

But despite his obvious talent, the Coral News Team reckons he can be taken on. 

The six-year-old was third here last year and King believes he’s much better 12 months on.

However, he’ll have Ptit Zig breathing down his neck in this renewal at much more enticing odds.

Paul Nicholls’ eight-year-old has plenty of pedigree and much more experience at Grade 1 level.

Having gone up against the likes of Yanworth, Un De Sceaux, Vautour, and Thistlecrack in recent seasons, a crack at Lil Rockerfeller will suit him.

Considering this is a drop back to Grade 2, the quality in the field narrows. Ptit Zig is definitely worth a bet.

Dark Flame worth each-way bet

Lastly, it’s off to Ascot for a decent-looking renewal of the Sodexo Gold Cup.

You could take your pick from a number of horses but the fancy here has to be Dark Flame.

The eight-year-old performed brilliantly at Sandown on his seasonal debut a year ago. And he also has a decent record at the course with a win and two places.

Connections have stated they’ve been targeting this renewal since the summer so we’re happy to give him the nod.

A trip up to 3m could also aid him so an each-way bet is worth a tenner of your money.
