Career is progressing; finished ahead of two of these rivals over 1m1f at Turffontein (maiden plate) when runner-up (sent off 9-4) two months ago; leading claims.

On the premises when third of 12 over 1m2f here (maiden plate) last month; recent effort was creditable so has to be respected.

Still winless and defeats stacking up (22 on the bounce); not far behind Chieftain's Shield when seventh over 1m2f here (maiden plate) three weeks ago; others more appealing.

Finished tailed off over 1m1f at Turffontein (maiden plate) when behind two of these last month; attempting to open his account at the fourth time of asking; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as headgear will need to have a dramatic effect.

Finished fourth on Tuesday albeit only beaten 2½l over 1m1f (maiden plate); should go close.

Verdict
This trip could be a bit far for Seventh Fleet while Chieftain's Shield has clocked up some good efforts. But THE ULTIMATE KING rates a strong recommendation. He is taken to confirm placings with Follow The Master and Gold de Grace.
