15/2

Unraced Lope De Vega colt is a half-brother to useful middle-distance performer Balios and G1 winning hurdler Pentland Hills among others. Market support would be notable for a yard who took this race 12 months ago.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C Appleby

Showed ability when finishing 5¼L fourth in a 1m2f novice race when making his debut at Chelmsford recently. Likely to appreciate this step up in distance and is a notable runner in this race.

Well beaten ninth in a 7f maiden at Goodwood (good) when making her debut back in August. Unraced since and is probably best watched stepping up markedly in distance.

Beaten 15L when finishing last of 13 in a 1m2f novice race on debut at Lingfield at the end of last month. Probably best watched at present.

Royal Castle (13/8), Kingswear (11/4), To Nathaniel (7/2), Ispahan (15/2), Punctuation (20/1), Lady Pendragon (25/1), Night Of Fashion (50/1)

The well-bred KINGSWEAR is taken to make his first visit to the track a winning one by taking this decent looking novice contest. The selection looks capable of getting the better of To Nathaniel who represents a top yard and ran well when placed on his most recent outing while third place can go to Royal Castle, a stablemate of the selection who showed promise when fourth on his only previous start.
