Impressive debut winner who proved a different proposition to his reappearance when second in Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh (10f) 24 days ago. Will be suited at least 1½m and not taken lightly.

Won his final start at 2 yrs and improved again after 7 months off/gelding operation to follow up in 1¼m Naas minor event on return. Will stay beyond 1¼m and likely to progress further.

In rampant mood since returning this year, completing 4-timer in 7-runner handicap (14.5f) at Doncaster 11 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Further progress by no means out of the question.

Confirmed debut promise when readily landing a 5-runner novice (11/8) at Newcastle (12.4f) in March. Ran creditably under a penalty at Thirsk last month but surely flying too high here.

Made the most of a good opportunity when making all in 11.6f maiden at Bath in April. Not hard pressed to follow up on Chelmsford handicap debut and could have more to offer at this trip.

Runner-up to a high-class prospect on debut and went one better in impressive fashion in 11.5f maiden at Yarmouth 19 days ago. Sure to stay at least 1½m and should do better still.

Son of Golden Horn who improved by the run first 3 starts, readily bagging 1m4f novices at Kempton and Leicester. Reported to have been coughing when well beaten last time. Cheekpieces on first time.

Improved to get off the mark at the third attempt in 1¼m maiden at Newbury in October. However, he hasn't looked straightforward both starts back this season. Tried in a change of headgear.

Promising maiden who showed much-improved form when third in 1½m listed race at Leopardstown (good) 13 days ago. Looks sure to progress again, so in the mix.

Big eyecatcher on debut and confirmed that promise when prevailing in 3-runner maiden here (12f) 40 days ago. Wears first-time tongue tie and seems sure to go on to better things.

An expensive son of Frankel who make a successful debut in good style at Naas in November. Just respectable efforts up in grade this term but first-time blinkers could sharpen him up from the stalls.

Confirmed debut promise in a tongue tie with victory in 21-runner maiden at the Curragh in April. Edged out only by a lesser-fancied stablemate in Navan listed race since and open to more progress.

Forecasts

Wordsworth (10/3), Kyprios (9/2), Kemari (15/2), Taipan (8/1), Arturo Toscanini (8/1), Dancing King (8/1), Stowell (12/1), Ruling (12/1), Law Of The Sea (16/1), Benaud (25/1), Golden Flame (25/1), Zinc White (25/1), Recovery Run (40/1), Pied Piper (80/1), Dirham Emirati (150/1)

Verdict

WORDSWORTH has made a highly-promising start to his career and is very much the type to go on improving now tackling 1¾m being a full brother to St Leger winner Kew Gardens, so he's taken to continue his trainer’s domination of this race. Ruling looks the sort to progress again, while Dancing King and Arturo Toscanini are other credible rivals.
