Brave Hunter²⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: I Mohammed

14/1

Promising third on 7f Yarmouth debut last May but found the Chesham at Royal Ascot all too much just over 3 weeks later and hasn't been seen since.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Harris| OR: 73

I'm Just Ken^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer

28/1

Havana Grey gelding who has offered minor promise in a pair of all-weather novices over this trip in recent weeks but he's probably more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 35

King Of Earth¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

10/11

Kingman half-brother to several winners, including high-class miler winner King of Change. Lots to like his debut second in the mud at Newbury (1m) last backend and looks a good prospect for his top yard.

Form: 2-

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox

9/1

100,000 gns Mayson half-brother to several winners. Showed a bit amidst greenness on 6f Leicester debut last autumn and open to improvement with the step up to 7f promising to suit.

Naval Light²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 86| BF

5/2

Expensive breeze-up purchase who failed to win as a juvenile but he did take in some big meetings, showing lots of ability. Raced only on good of firmer so today's likely ground conditions are an unknown but he should be bang there on form.

Form: 2823-

Forecasts

King Of Earth (11/8), Naval Light (2/1), Tales Of Wisdom (9/4), Firewalker (10/1), Brave Hunter (10/1), Halla Bil Zain (12/1), I'm Just Ken (12/1), Langstone (16/1), Simon Pierre (25/1), Record Day (50/1), The Golden Snitch (50/1), Viper (66/1), Princess Coco (200/1)

An interesting novice. KING OF EARTH is bred to be a pattern-race performer and can build on last autumn's highly promising Newbury debut and make the most of the weight he receives from Godolphin's Southwell debut winner Tales of Wisdom. Naval Light looks clear best of the remainder.
