Previously with Aidan O’Brien KING OF BAVARIA has only had two starts in handicaps for Mick Appleby and he might have more to come off 97. He hasn’t done much wrong this season going down less than a length to Diligent Harry at Newcastle back in February and given that horse has won the AW Sprint Championships Stakes since the form has been given a serious boost. He will need to improve to defy this mark but I think he can especially dropping back to the minimum trip.

He won fresh on turf as a two-year-old so it really wouldn’t be a surprise to see him a big gamble for this despite lacking a run. Live In The Dream was mega tough to prevail on reappearance at Lingfield last month and could be the danger if allowed an easy lead. Ey Up It’s Maggie won at Doncaster on return and might get competitive too but is 3lb out the handicap so it won’t be easy.
