In depth

Verdict

King Of Dudes scored on the Flat at Navan in October before joining Alan King and beating Sky Khan one and a half lengths over this track and trip three weeks ago. It was a very pleasing introduction by both though they were greatly aided when the leader ran out at the second last. LITTLE DUTCH GIRL, a dual winner on the level for Clive Cox, ran very well in what looked a strong maiden at Doncaster earlier this month and with that under her belt can take this though Zamdy Man, a rare Flat winner at Newmarket for Venetia Williams, was sent to Chepstow for the Grade 1 Finale Hurdle on his debut and ran well for a long way. Grandiloquent, twice a winner on the Flat for Sir Michael Stoute, is a very interesting newcomer to keep a close eye on in what should prove an informative contest.
