Amancio (second choice) ran his best race over hurdles when second of five at Newbury last month and wouldn't need to step up much more on that in order to figure, but KING OF RECORDS looks the one to beat. He gives the impression that he has a much bigger effort in him, even though he has already shown ability over hurdles. Roadshow represents a top yard, but he will need to step up a long way from his disappointing hurdles debut.[David Bellingham]

Some promise when fourth of 12 on his bumper debut at Warwick (soft) in December, but has shown little in another bumper and two starts over hurdles since; may be one for handicaps is due course.
£3,000 3yo; half-brother to bumper winner Teeceethree; dam point/2m3f-3m1f chase winner, out of twice-raced sister to 2m4f/2m6f chase winner Lambrini Mist, is granddaughter of 2m4f-3m1f chase winner; probably only of interest on debut if attracting support.
Some promise in his second bumper and on his hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) a year ago, but tailed off over C&D (soft) in October; enough to prove off the back of another absence.
1-9 on the Flat in France (RPR 105) and showed ability in two starts over hurdles on a soft surface at Ludlow (2m) in February, his latest third of 12 catching the attention of the stewards; has looked highly strung, but he gives the strong impression he has a much bigger effort in him and this isn't a deep race.
1-17 on the Flat (RPR 77); best effort on third start over hurdles when second of five (well clear of the third) at Newbury (2m, good) last month; claims if stepping up again on first start for new trainer.
1-5 on the Flat in France (RPR 92); having been gelded and undergone wind surgery, he was sent off 8-13 for his stable/hurdles debut at Wincanton (1m7f/ good) last month, but finished a well-beaten third of four finishers (reportedly had a respiratory issue); plenty to prove after that and Harry Cobden switches to Amancio.
