River King
A competitive race of its type. RIVER KING shaped like a well-treated individual when finding only one too good on his return/handicap debut at Chepstow 11 days ago and with further progress distinctly possible, he shades preference over last week's Redcar scorer Classic Encounter. Green Triangle caught the eye in a stronger race over C&D last time and is another worth a second look.

Showed fairly useful form in maiden/novice company last season, getting off the mark at Windsor (1¼m) 12 months ago. Gelded/off 11 months prior to finishing an improved second on handicap debut at Chepstow 11 days ago and this mark looks well within range.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow1m 2fGood to SoftFlat2/6Windsor1m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/9Chelmsford City1mStandardFlat3/15Nottingham1m 75yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/12Doncaster7f 6yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/12- 1(9)Classic EncounterJ: Jack CallanT: George Boughey603-761Age 57/210/33/1

Successful twice last season and capitalised on a slight ease in grade when opening his account for the season at Redcar (1m) 6 days ago.

Landed 1m Kempton novice in October 2024. Only twice raced since but not discredited on her handicap debut when seventh of 9 there (7f) 65 days ago.

Successful in valuable event at Gowran Park (9.5f) last summer on final outing for Joseph O'Brien. Ran to a similar level in handicaps on first 2 starts in Meydan and shaped better than bare result when eighth in a deeper C&D handicap 16 days ago. One to be interested in.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/15Meydan1m 3f 216yGoodFlat5/12Meydan1m 1f 98yFlat6/13Meydan1m 1f 207yGoodFlat4/14Meydan1m 209yGoodFlat7/15- 10(8)The Third StarJ: Callum RodriguezT: Owen Burrows86697-5Age 47/16/113/2

Sole success came in 7f Southwell maiden last spring and disappointed on final couple of starts for Chris Dwyer. However, her reappearance Lingfield fifth was something akin to her best despite being forced to switch for a run.

Five wins at up to 1m last year on all-weather/turf. No impact on first 2 starts this spring but excuses having done far too much running mid-race when ninth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) 16 days ago. Now finds himself back on last winning mark.

Won at Chelmsford in January for new connections and back to that sort of level when fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Seemed to find the competition a little too competitive when thirteenth in a big field York handicap (7f) 17 days ago but does now find himself back on last winning mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork7fGoodFlat13/22Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat4/10Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat7/10Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat8/12Chelmsford City7fStandardFlat1/11- 5(3)HerculeusJ: Lewis EdmundsT: William Muir & Chris Grassick14100-9Age 416/118/120/1

Won two handicaps on turf last year (latterly over C&D) showing useful form. Tailed off on his final couple of starts and whilst he finished well held on return at Ascot last month, he did have an excuse given the pace he set.

Made the frame twice on all-weather last year in what was a rather indifferent campaign and below form returning from 7 months off at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter and whilst he looks a more reliable proposition on all-weather, the assessor has given him a chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat10/11Leicester7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat15/15Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat4/11Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat12/13Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat2/12- 12(1)LunarioJ: Jack DaceT: Luke Dace748-970Age 640/133/1
