Nader King ran below form at Goodwood and something was amiss with Pride Of Priory at Ascot last time but both have a chance if back to their best.

Gallant Lion’s winning run came to an end at Ascot but HUMANITY (NAP) opened his account with a victory on the Polytrack at Lingfield and he gets the vote to show further progress on his handicap debut.
