Genuine individual who bagged a Longchamp Group 2 in July. Creditable 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Johnny Drama in listed race at Kempton (12f) 15 days ago. Should give another good account.

Useful form on Flat in Ireland for Dermot Weld but struggled on the level for new yard this summer. Has won over hurdles since but will need to recapture his very best form in this sphere to go close.

Wide-margin Wolverhampton novice winner in February who returned with good 5 lengths third in 1½m Kempton handicap in October, travelling well but leaving impression outing just needed. More to come.

Won 6 on the trot on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott in 2018/19. Also won a novice hurdle for this yard in July but has found life tougher since. Remains to be seen if return to Flat revives him.

Forecasts

Kingswear (1/1), King's Advice (5/1), Nate The Great (11/2), Hasanabad (13/2), Red Verdon (13/2), Timoshenko (40/1)

Verdict

There's every chance sole 3-y-o KINGSWEAR has more to offer after only 3 starts and he can build on an encouraging handicap debut effort at Kempton. The likeable Red Verdon is a very classy sort for a handicap and he can give Charlie Appleby's charge most to think about.
