Form & Verdict
Kingman colt who fetched 500,000gns as a yearling and made a promising start when third of 11 in novice at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) 34 days ago; seems sure to step forward but has a bit to find with his market rival.

10st 2lb

J: Colin Keane

T: Denis Gerard Hogan

Won final start in Britain but poor form so far here in two handicaps here and a maiden hurdle; booking of Keane clearly interesting and could be capable of better in this headgear combination; one of seven runners for the stable.

Won final start in Britain but poor effort on yard debut here and tailed off over timber last week; first-time cheekpieces now tried; others may be on better marks.

J: Daniel King

T: Denis Gerard Hogan

Twice a winner in 3-runner flat contests (rated 84) for the Crisfords on a decent surface; bought for just 7,000gns at the Newmarket Autumn Sales and faded badly in straight on yard debut at Dundalk last month; tongue-tied here for hurdles debut and may want better ground.

3 yo Colt

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Very well-bred Dubawi colt who scored in good style on his debut in 1m Nottingham maiden before posting good second in 1m Kempton novice 30 days ago; that form has been franked and he's the one to beat.
