In depth
Verdict
Not a strong nursery here and having got his nose in front over c&d last time King Supreme looks good enough to finish this race at the head of affairs, with Heavenly Saint perhaps the main danger, and both Bridge Of Fermoy and King Bathwick considered. King Supreme took a similar c&d contest when stepped up to a mile last time when Richard Hannon looked to have got him in on a nice mark. He is 7lb higher here but there looked to be more to come and with little else red hot he can follow up. Heavenly Saint has Darryll Holland up and she steps into a nursery having been tried in three maidens so far. She too is on a handy looking mark and it would be no surprise to see her go very well now stepped up in trip. Bridge Of Fermoy is worth another try at this trip after being found out by the soft ground on his only previous try. He hasn't gone badly on his last two starts in nurseries and could make the frame. The same can be said of King Bathwick, while Ambrose Princess won a Ripon seller last time and will need to improve. Not high on quality then and King Supreme looks the one to be on.
