Epsom Downs Race 3 - Sporting Times Sri Lanka Handicap

KING'S CASTLE (4) bids for a hat-trick following 2000m handicap victories at Ffos Las and last week by 1.5L at Sandown. Ticks plenty of boxes. Leading contender. WOODSTOCK CITY (3) did well two starts back when a solid 4.5L third among this company attempting the journey at Chester. Worth including. AZAHARA PALACE (1) made the frame tackling a higher graded handicap finishing a close third in April at Haydock. Below par the two outings since and can bounce back. IMPERIAL CULT (5) is known to enjoy this venue.

Recent form sound. Most recently eased back early on in a small field at Ripon on July 19 over 2400m, slow going 17 len behind The Reverend with 56kg at $10. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Chester on June 28 over 2460m, 4.5 len behind Ghaiyya carrying 64kg at $7. Finds a suitable race and looks one of the key runners.

Third-up today. Resuming 7th of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on May 29 over 3170m, 66 len behind Queensland Boy with 61kg at $19. Second-up in a small field at Lingfield on June 28 over 2600m, 4.5 len behind One Million Dreams carrying 59.5kg at $10. Likely to find this out of reach.
