10/1

Possibly did too much too soon when ninth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft, 10/1) when last seen in September. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 7-month absence.

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, failed to stay longer trip when sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in October. Continues to fall in the weights, but others more persuasive on his return.

13/2

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: R Craggs| OR: 79| BF| CD

11/1

Has won twice here this year, including over C&D last month. Raced too freely when seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (1m, 10/3) 22 days ago. No surprise to see him fare better back down in trip.

50/1

16/1

C&D winner. Not discredited when fifth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) in January. Rejoined yard after making only 2 starts for Michael Dods. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 46006-5

Forecasts

All The King's Men (11/10), Swiss Ace (9/2), Streak Lightning (13/2), Master Richard (10/1), Eldrickjones (11/1), Ron O (11/1), Flash The Dash (16/1), Eligible (22/1), Mudamer (33/1), Summa Peto (33/1), Bobby Shaft (50/1), Castleberg Rock (80/1)

Having previously been trained in France, ALL THE KING'S MEN made an impressive stable debut when winning at Lingfield in January, but he was then absent for 11 weeks before finishing third at Kempton last month. With his latest run behind him, he can resume his progress and is taken to see off the challenge of Eligible and Streak Lightning.
