Spirit Of Saxony
SPIRIT OF SAXONY looks to have the best form on offer, and he may go one better than over C&D last time. Hat-trick seeking King's Cavalry stands out as the danger.

Powerful son of Kingman who is progressing gradually. Looked set to follow up his Leicester novice success by a wider margin before scrambling home at Doncaster last time (third won since). Still impressed with how he went through the race, and he's expected to make a bold bid for the hat-trick.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster7f 6yGood to FirmFlat1/10Leicester7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8Leicester7fGoodFlat2/12Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat6/15- 3(1)Spirit Of SaxonyJ: Charles BishopT: Eve Johnson Houghton3-25512Age 39/415/82/1

Improving son of Saxon Warrior who got off the mark in a solid Kempton novice in May. Ought to have finished further clear of the rest when runner-up to a smart prospect over C&D subsequently, and he can resume winning ways with better luck in running.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/10Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat1/9Ascot1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/11Newbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/25Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat2/8- 1(4)Richie's RocketJ: Rossa RyanT: Ralph Beckett31-4570Age 39/27/24/1

€110,000 New Bay gelding. Useful form on the all-weather over the winter. Promising seventh in a hot Goodwood handicap (7f) penultimate start, but he didn't build on that over a trip expected to suit in the Britannia (1m) last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1mGood to FirmFlat17/30Goodwood7fGoodFlat7/17Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat5/5Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat4/8Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat1/10- 4(3)Jungle RulerJ: Conor WhiteleyT: Michael Appleby-144454Age 315/215/27/1

Followed up debut win for Joseph O'Brien with success on stable debut at Southwell in January. Less than ideally placed when creditable fourth at Chester last time, but he has a couple of upwardly-mobile rivals to contend with back down in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChester7f 127yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat4/9Beverley7f 96yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/9Newcastle6fStandardFlat4/14Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat4/8Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat4/7- 2(5)He's WaliimJ: Billy LoughnaneT: James Tate1625-6Age 312/112/111/1

Things haven't gone entirely to plan since impressive all-the-way success on debut at Beverley last summer. One of the first beaten on reappearance at Kempton in late-March, and he looks the stable second string even with Billy Loughnane taking over.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat6/9York7f 192yGoodFlat5/5Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat2/4Sandown Park7fSoftFlat6/6Beverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8- 6(6)Sunny SmileJ: Oisin MurphyT: Hugo Palmer5142-02Age 316/116/114/1

Successful in a Hamilton maiden (good to firm) last summer. Took a step forward from his reappearance when no match for well-backed winner at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft) last time, but he now finds himself in a deeper race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las7f 80ySoftFlat2/6Epsom Downs7f 3yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat12/16Hamilton Park6f 6yGood to Soft (Soft In places)Flat2/7Newbury6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/8Hamilton Park6f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/6
