Had looked to be building up to something and duly proved the point when 10-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 6 days ago, responding well when tackled under 2f out. Big player again turned out quickly under a penalty.

12/1
A fair 7f juvenile winner who has run to a similar level both outings to date this year, returning from 3 months off (also had wind op) when third of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Likely she'll need to pull out a bit more.

6/5
Frontiersman gelding who is from a family that improves with age and plenty of encouragement to glean from his exploits in novice/maidens at around 1m in recent months, that despite clear signs of inexperience. Promises to be suited by 1¼m now handicapping and of definite interest here.

Winner at Kempton (1m) in February and runner-up next 2 starts. Inauspicious start sent hurdling when unseating early at Stratford (16.3f) 17 days ago and connections now opt for a visor on this quick return to the Flat.

6/1
Lightly-raced sort who confirmed promise of previous start when winning 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago, outbattling runner-up to edge ahead again final strides. This rates tougher again but entitled to be competitive.

Forecasts

Versailles Prince (6/5), Gloryous (15/8), Hibernate (6/1), Veraison (12/1), Appleblossomwhite (14/1)

Verdict

An interesting finale in which it could pay to side with VERSAILLES PRINCE. Bred to improve with age, he's shaped with definite promise in a trio of 1m novice/maidens and very much appeals as the type to step up further now handicapping over this longer trip. Last-time-out winners Gloryous and Hibernate are feared most, in that order.

  1. Versailles Prince6/5
  2. Gloryous15/8
  3. Hibernate6/1
