Verdict
WILLIAMDECONQUEROR may be 0-11 but could not have got much closer to shedding his maiden tag last time at Lingfield. He was also second over a longer trip than this at Sedgefield last season so stamina won’t be an issue. Aikenbreakinheart won over a slightly shorter distance here in March and Head And Heart will handle the going and had a pipe-opener last month at Chepstow. Caeruleum might make a better chaser than hurdler but has never been over a trip this far.
