Class 2

King Lear

9st 7lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Solid effort on his Tapeta debut in August, when going close off a 2lb lower mark in first-time cheekpieces (switches to blinkers today); below that level on turf last time and has still to conclusively prove his stamina over a demanding, extended 1m4f.

King Lear

8st 11lb

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: George Boughey

Maiden winner who is still lightly raced and this headgear combination did him no harm when runner-up at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in August; could have done without the 3lb rise in this stronger company.

King Lear

9st 12lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Nottingham maiden winner (1m, good) a year ago, but out of the frame in all three handicaps; still unexposed, but needs the switch to the AW and addition of a tongue-tie to give him a lift.

King Lear

10st 0lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Only sixth in his two handicaps but he was off for ten months in between and going down by about only 3l in Rathgar's race at Yarmouth (1m2f; favourite) two weeks ago was close to his best form; may build on that; connections also turn to cheekpieces.

King Lear

9st 7lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Good-ground winner over 1m last year but turned over at odds-on by Believe In Stars over this trip at Goodwood next time; off since underperforming on handicap debut at Pontefract in September and gelded since; open to improvement and market should guide on reappearance.
