Form & Verdict

Stoutly bred half-brother to his connections' dual Group 2 winner (at about 1m6f) Sumo Sam; second of nine in maiden at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in May was a promising start; absent since (non-runner in Listed race at Royal Ascot) but he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict

25-1, made promising late headway when fifth of 11 in maiden at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm); non-runner there 12 days ago when the ground was good to soft; should improve but this race may prove a bit hot.

Kingman half-brother to five winners, notably Royal Marine (7f/1m 2yo, including Group 1); 11-8 favourite for novice at Kempton (7f, AW) one month ago, which he failed to live up to when never able to challenge but he was getting the hang of things late on, alongside Calla Lagoon; has big-race entries and looks sure to improve.
