Clearly had his issues but confirmed promise of sole previous start when taking 8-runner minor event (evens) at Lingfield (10f, AW) last September. Not seen since (been gelded) but remains with potential.

Promising sort who was having just his second start when opening account in 9-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago, plenty in hand. This longer trip should suit and he is a major player.

14,000 gns yearling, Australia gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Shawaf. Dam twice-raced half-sister to high-class French miler Tamayuz. Faces a stiff task on debut.

Hasn't troubled the judge in either start to date and will be seen in better light when sent handicapping.

Ran with promise when third of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 12 days ago and should have learnt plenty from that experience. Respected.

Fair efforts in both outings to date, latest when fifth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (12f, 4/1) 27 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not out of things.

Forecasts

King Lear (4/6), Lope De Light (10/3), Believe In Stars (9/2), Coco Royale (13/2), Grey Owl (33/1), Highland Song (50/1), Underlay (150/1), Larkhill (150/1)

Verdict

Preference is for KING LEAR, who built on the considerable promise of his racecourse bow when scoring at Nottingham last month and should have more to offer yet. Believe In Stars and Lope de Light are feared most.
