Verdict

The Queen's Bank Bonus came with a late flourish on his second start over a mile here in October and should be suited by this trip. Joe The Coat was very green at Yarmouth and may need another run but Princely Sum showed promise on his only start at Doncaster and is another who will appreciate stepping up in trip. SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD is a half-brother to five winners on the Flat including the 1m4f Group 3 winner Side Saddle. He'll stay further in time but should be forward enough and is handed the vote to make a winning debut.
