Lots to like on pedigree and he came from off the pace in promising fashion when sixth of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) in October; that was at 50-1 but he's probably a leading player this time.

Kingman colt who has shaped well on both his runs, runner-up in C&D novice last month; can do better still so he's one to consider.

By Kingman; seventh foal; closely related to 7f winner Wedding Dance (including 2yo; RPR 101), half-brother to winners Royal Dress (6f-1m1f including Group 3; 112) and Ibraz (1m-1m1f; 102); dam 1m3f winner (94), half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner; interesting and market may guide on debut.

Shaped with a lot of promise when beaten a head at Newbury (1m, good) last April; not seen again until last month but duly went one better when 1-2 at Chelmsford (7f, AW); carried his head high but brings plenty of promise.

Went close on his debut last year and got off the mark at the second attempt when winning at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in March on his first start for 329 days; posted a solid effort at Leicester last month when trying to give weight away to some 3yos and he's open to improvement now handicapping.

Easy to back but shaped with a lot of promise on his Newbury debut last April (equally unlucky third proved very useful subsequently); sets a clear standard on that for a trainer who boasts a good record with runners here down the seasons.

16-1 for a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) in November but always prominent and went on over 2f out for a half-length win, finding more when seriously challenged; that's not the best form in this line-up but he should improve.

Defied market weakness when winning a 7f novice at Kempton on his debut in November; not so good at Leicester four weeks ago; up in trip for his handicap debut but not obviously well treated.

Form & Verdict
Second in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August is the best form in this field; it's also, however, easily his best form (four races) after he trailed the field in a much stronger Newmarket sales race (7f, good) in October; gelded since and has to be considered seriously.

Could improve for the step up to 7f as he was strong through the line when second in a 6f sales race on the July course, which was improved form; this has the look of a much deeper race, however.

Ran better second time out at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and would have been closer but for hanging; quite likely capable of a lot better than he's shown.

100,000gns yearling who was a well-backed favourite on debut at Salisbury (7f, good) three weeks ago, when a well-beaten sixth of eight; however, he's evidently thought to be capable of considerably better and it will be interesting to see if his supporters return.
