Stepped up on debut effort when 3¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Poster Paint in maiden at Abu Dhabi (8f, good) 18 days ago. Significant step forward needed here to trouble the principals.
|
80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, out of depth when 13¼ lengths last of 6 to Sovereign Prince in listed race at this course (8f, good) 3 weeks ago. Up in trip. Faces another struggle.
|
Two wins from 3 runs in Scandinavia last year. Hooded for 1st time, tailed-off last of 13 to Azure Coast in UAE 2000 Guineas (20/1) at this track on the dirt (8f) a fortnight ago. Up in trip.
|
Two wins from 3 runs in England last year, landing short odds with the minimum of fuss at Chelmsford City (10f) back in November. First start on these shores and he's open to progress.
|
Off the mark on his second start at Haydock in September. 4/9, improved further when second of 10 in minor event at this course (9f, good) 5 weeks ago and looks the one to beat upped to 1¼m.
|
Two wins from 5 runs last year. 12/1, tailed-off twelfth of 13 to Azure Coast in UAE 2000 Guineas at this track on dirt (8f) a fortnight ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind upped in trip.
|
Little impact on sole start in Ireland but off the mark in 10-runner maiden at Abu Dhabi (8f, good) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Should improve, but will need to if he wants to get involved.
|
12/1, again ran well despite not being ideally placed when 3 lengths fourth of 6 to Sovereign Prince in listed race at this course (8f, good) 3 weeks ago. Respected upped in trip.

Forecasts
New Kingdom (4/6), Nations Pride (11/8), Sed Maarib (16/1), Poster Paint (28/1), Pjerrot (40/1), Hear The Drums (80/1), Al Ghaith (100/1), Chiefof Comanches (125/1)
Not for the first time Charlie Appleby's runners look the ones to focus on with NEW KINGDOM selected to come out on top. He improved on the bare form of his Haydock victory when finishing runner-up at this track 5 weeks ago and, with this step up to 1¼m sure to suit, he can get the better of stablemate Nations Pride. Sed Maarib looks best of the remainder.
