Won three runner race at Fairyhouse last year but regressed after that. Bought for £20,000 from Jessica Harrington last autumn and needs to bounce back for new yard though has gone well first time out in the past.

All his three career runs have been on the AW and successful in two of them both at Kempton. Beat sole serious rival in minor contest when last seen in March at this trip and should have more to come from this powerful yard on handicap debut.

Form tapered off last season but bounced back in style to win at Newcastle over 7f in March. 5lb higher today and takes on less exposed types so needs a bit more against younger rivals.

4/6
Three runs in maidens at this trip in 2018 and impressive in getting off the mark at Kempton on the last of them. Not seen since but interesting that top connections persevere with him and opening mark could prove lenient. Market should be useful.

Has fitness on his side having ran creditably when fourth at Newcastle last week on AW debut over 6f. Return to this trip in his favour as last two career wins have been at this trip, though this demands a bit more.

4/1
Front-runner who sprang a 25/1 shock on debut over C&D in October. Probably unsuited by Southwell surface next time and then had a simple task when winning weak contest at Lingfield when last seen in February. More to do now on handicap debut.

Was beginning to look exposed but took his form to another level when completing a quick-fire double in the spring at this trip. Up another 7lb for latest of those and this is a higher grade contest.

Verdict

With lightly raced runners from top Newmarket yards this could prove a strong contest and the market should prove informative particularly regarding the returning Sovereign Grant who looked a smart sort when winning a Kempton maiden when last seen on October 2018. However, GODHEAD comes with less risk and could be another for John Gosden who has hit the ground running. Lincoln Park has a run under his belt from last week and with this extra furlong in his favour, could prove best of the rest.
