Still relatively lightly raced, the Mick Appleby-trained four-year-old has filled the runner-up spot in similar events on each of his last two starts. However, he has the potential to make good progress as a sprinter and another step forward could see him gain some just reward here. Pals Battalion, Sergeant Wilko and the admirable Dakota Gold are other each-way options to consider. KING'S LYNN can land a first victory since May 2022 having slid to a very threatening mark. Andrew Balding's gelding had a decent 2024 despite no wins, with six placings and a few more close-up but out the frame efforts in very competitive events. A below par run trying 7f for just the second occasion last time can be easily excused given the poor trip, and a return to 6f is a big plus. Two of his four career wins (a paltry return for one so talented) have come here (over 5f) and a bold bid is predicted. The list of dangers is many and headed by Trilby, a dual course and distance winner who should relish the reutun to 6f and the unexposed but hugely progressive Durham Castle, who should get very competitive despite the hike in class.
