Shaped well on debut last season and confirmed that encouragement at the second attempt with an improved second in a maiden at Newbury last time. Definite claims with Moore booked.

Fair form on each of his 3 outings earlier this year. Has been gelded in the 3 months he's been off and longer trip should suit, so he's worthy of respect.

€85,000 yearling, Roaring Lion colt. Dam winner up to 10.5f (2-y-o 1m winner), including Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, out of Prix du Moulin de Longchamp winner Grey Lilas. Notable newcomer.

Looked awkward as a juvenile and returned with a poor display at Ripon recently. Needs blinkers to have a positive effect.

Camelot colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Morning Poem. Dam, 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 2½m, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Monturani. Very interesting newcomer who could be worth siding with.

Little encouragement in his debut at Newbury 3 weeks ago and looks more one for the longer term.

Forecasts

Banderas (5/4), Medieval Gold (10/3), King Of The Plains (5/1), Night At Sea (8/1), Kingsley Pride (12/1), Chronograph (14/1)

Verdict

MEDIEVAL GOLD has an excellent middle-distance pedigree and is in good hands, so he's worth chancing in his bid to make a winning start. Banderas is an obvious danger after an improved showing at Newbury and King of The Plains is another noteworthy newcomer.
