11/10

Son of Kingman who fetched €650,000 as a yearling and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third of 13 in novice at Sandown (7f) 16 days ago, caught further back than ideal and finishing off very well. Looks sure to be suited by 1m and he's open to significant improvement.

7/1

200,000 gns purchase who is bred more for stamina then speed and he showed ability when fifth of 13 in maiden at Newmarket (7f) on debut 5 weeks ago. Looks sure to be suited by this increase in trip.

Forecasts

King's Charter (11/10), Isambard Brunel (11/4), Windlord (9/2), Sing Us A Song (7/1), Pantile Warrior (8/1), Hopewell Rock (17/2), Sword Of Wessex (22/1), Raedwald (100/1), Scarlet Moon (100/1), Risk (200/1), Kaiya (200/1)

KING'S CHARTER marked himself down as one to follow with a highly encouraging debut third at Sandown 16 days ago, caught further back than ideal but very much catching the eye with the progress he made entering the final 1f. Open to significant improvement, he can build on that run and come out on top. This has all the hallmarks of a deep maiden, Ballydoyle newcomer Isambard Brunel (holds group-race entries) and the improving Windlord heading up the dangers.
