Nobody knows how well (or otherwise) he ran behind Clyne at Haydock due to the fog, but the winner has since gone close in much better company. Previous third to the Festival-bound Ami Desbois has had a form boost too, and although a bit further might suit him, he's still the obvious danger to King Of Fashion.

5/1
Not disgraced on debut when fifth to Eaton Hill at Wetherby, looking like this step up in trip would suit, but needs more to challenge the principals here and may be of more interest once handicapped.

20/1
Has shown nothing in two bumpers and two novice hurdles, and hurdling technique needs improving upon.

Poor on the flat, and has shown nothing in three hurdles starts either.

Forecasts

Sharp Response (2/13), King Of Fashion (8/11), Ronn The Conn (5/1), Robert De Bruce (6/1), Miss Lizzy Lamb (20/1), Short Flight (100/1), Melodya (150/1)

Verdict

This looks a match between the top two, KING OF FASHION and Sharp Response, with preference for the former who has looked progressive on his last two starts, winning very easily at Ayr last time out. The tongue tie seems to have done the trick and this smooth travelling sort can win again. Sharp Response is doing little wrong, but is bumping into a progressive rival here, and may have to settle for second again. Ronn The Conn may do best of the rest and grab third. 1. King Of Fashion 2. Sharp Response 3. Ronn The Conn
