In frame both starts in handicaps, keeping on when fourth of 11 at Haydock 14 days ago. Steps up to 1½m for the first time and is bred to stay so finding the required progress isn't ruled out.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton over this trip in April and backed that up with good efforts when runner-up there next 2 starts, including when splitting subsequent winners on latter. Respected if proving as effective back on turf.

Forecasts

King Of Berkshire (2/1), Forever Perfect (5/2), Rumbustious (4/1), Myrrh (13/2), Fareenar (8/1), Wave Power (14/1)

Verdict

KING OF BERKSHIRE (IRE) won comfortably at Redcar in April and stuck on well when third at Windsor 18 days ago, shaping as if this step up in trip will be right up his street. He can go one better here. Rumbustious is bred to stay and may need this longer trip to show further improvement after solid efforts over shorter, while Myrrh could be better than recent form suggests.
