Consistent performer in handicaps who was second of 12 at this C&D (15/2) in January. Fifth of 12 over 7f here (11/1) 18 days ago and he's likely to give his running again back up in trip.

Forecasts

King Of York (10/3), Camino Del Ray (9/2), Ernie's Valentine (5/1), Rising Force (11/2), Hachiman (17/2), Soames Forsyte (10/1), Gennadius (12/1), Age Of Baroque (16/1), Spirit Catcher (16/1), Alpine Oasis (16/1), Phaedra (28/1), It's Only Fun (40/1)

KING OF YORK has returned from a 9-month absence in excellent order, winning over 7f here 18 days ago before another solid effort a week later. He's holding his form very well so looks the answer back up in trip. Conversely, Rising Force drops down in distance and is a definite threat starting out for a new yard, while Camino Del Ray takes a slight drop in class.
