Hasn't won for a while and form has an up and down look to it; behind Touchdown when finishing last of 12 three weeks ago; easy to oppose in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Opened account at the fourth time of asking over 7f at Kenilworth (maiden plate) when successful by just over 2l last month; probably unlikely to trouble the principals with new trip an unknown.

Finished fourth but only beaten just over 2l at Kenilworth upped to 1m2f three months ago in a stakes race; has won here before; he's an attractive contender if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and his draw is a positive.

A C&D winner; fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing fifth of eight in a Class 5 at Kenilworth last month; a lot on his plate here and one to tread carefully with.

Improved form the last twice; shed maiden status at the seventh time of asking when winning by half a length (Kenilworth) over 7f (stakes race) 28 days ago; he can be taken on despite that win last time.

Verdict

Touchdown has clocked up some good efforts, and Pinot Grigio looks well drawn. However, KING'S QUEST gets the vote. He is a reliable type and can reverse last time's placings with Touchdown.
