Placed on all four starts so far this season most recently when beaten 6L over 1m2f at Sandown (good-to-firm) last month. Races off the same mark here and likely to run well once more.

Finished a nose second over C&D on good-to-soft ground last time out. That effort marked a return to form and interesting to see how he fairs off a 3lb higher mark in this.

Forecasts

The New Pharaoh (9/4), Prendergast Hill (4/1), Parish Boy (13/2), Warrior Prince (8/1), Buonarroti (9/1), Sheriff Of Nawton (10/1), Busy Street (10/1), Alphabetical Order (12/1), Bluff Crag (16/1), Auxiliary (25/1), Ice Galley (40/1), Groor (50/1)

Verdict

PRENDERGAST HILL can gain a deserved first success of the season having finished in the first three in each of his previous four starts. The most recent of those came off this mark at Sandown and he is taken to get the better of The New Pharaoh who ran well when runner-up over C&D last time out while Parish Boy can follow up his second here last week by claiming third today.
  1. Prendergast Hill
  2. The New Pharaoh
