Exploits have been mixed this term but one of better displays when second at Epsom (8.5f) 2 starts ago. Royal Hunt Cup effort best forgiven and good showing not ruled out.

Backed at long odds and stepped up on his reappearance run when ninth at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, shaken up over 1f out but not knocked about. Others make more appeal.

Half-brother to mighty sprinter Kachy and won over 6f at Haydock at 2 yrs. Showed benefit of reappearance when runner-up back there last time and he's a player if building on that effort.

Started out for this yard in really good form last summer but he's failed to hit the same heights since, beaten a long way on his last 3 starts. Something to prove at present.

Recored a career best when bagging 7f handicap at York last month and not disgraced off 6 lb higher when fifth on his tapeta debut at Newcastle last time. He's no forlorn hope.

C&D back in 2019. Rare below-par effort on all-weather when seventh at Newcastle back in February and he may need the outing after nearly 5 months off the track.

Made up into a useful 2-y-o, scoring twice, and he got back on track when runner-up in 7f handicap at Chester last month. He ought to be competitive again off the same mark here.

Runner-up 4 times in a row last season and filled that same position over this C&D (good) 3 weeks ago. Leading claims of going one better from the same mark.

Dual 6f winner last term who improved further when third on handicap debut/reappearance at Pontefract. Never dangerous in 5f listed race at York and again below form there 5 weeks ago. More needed.

Back on track when third in a 7f handicap at Kempton on return in March and improved to get off the mark for the season at Musselburgh 6 weeks ago. Up 5 lb and another bold bid anticipated.

Had a breathing operation after two-race juvenile campaign and much-improved form when landing a maiden at Newcastle in April. Unable to build on that since and out of depth in Jersey on latest.

Forecasts

Great King (4/1), Baashir (5/1), Admirality (5/1), Just Frank (11/2), Hortzadar (15/2), Diocles Of Rome (10/1), Gifted Ruler (12/1), Teston (12/1), Thunder Of Niagara (16/1), Society Lion (22/1), Internationaldream (25/1)

Verdict

Several in with chances here but it could pay to side with ADMIRALITY, who confirmed previous promise when finishing runner-up over C&D 3 weeks ago and is taken to snap a lengthy losing run of over 2 years from this unchanged mark. Hortzadar's last effort is easily excused so he's feared most, ahead of Great King and Just Frank.

  2. HORTZADAR
  3. GREAT KING (FR)
