Fair maiden on AW for John Gosden. Close second on hurdle debut and didn't have to reproduce that form when going one better over C&D (heavy) last month. May prove vulnerable under penalty.
|
Useful on Flat (probably stays 1¾m) in Ireland. Sold out of Andrew Oliver's yard for 42,000 gns in October. Interesting recruit to hurdles.
|
Bought for 56,000 gns after showing fair form on the Flat in Ireland but made an inauspicious start over hurdles when last of 8 at Sandown (heavy) 15 days ago.
|
Fairly useful maiden on Flat and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, going down only narrowly at Newcastle (good) 22 days ago. Hard to beat assuming he copes with much softer ground.
|
Heavy-ground debut winner on the Flat (6f) for Kevin Ryan in July 2019 but regressive in 3 starts since (albeit in good company) and sold for only 1,500 gns in July. Stamina far from assured.

Forecasts
State Crown (5/4), Pyramid Place (5/2), Danger Money (3/1), Yorkshire Gold (10/1), Masterdream (25/1)
STATE CROWN ran to a decent level when just edged out at Newcastle so is the one to beat assuming he's as effective on this much deeper ground, although it will be interesting to see how much strength there is in the betting behind Donald McCain's useful Flat recruit Danger Money.
