NEW KINGS ROAD (6) is a Richard Hannon trained gelding who displayed ability in three qualifying runs last season. Could show improved form now stepping up significantly in trip making handicap debut. Form of a second by BAROQUE BUOY (4) delivering initial handicap outing over course and distance took a boost when the winner followed up in latest. May go close with Liam Wright now taking off 5lb and first-time tongue-tie applied. TRUE BLUE GENT (8) finished a narrow runner-up tackling track and trip in January. Must be respected on reappearance. MEET ME IN MERAKI (11) is another to note.
