      Verdict

      KING'S APPROACH may be good enough to concede weight all round although support for one or any of the newcomers would clearly be of interest. Richard Hannon has his usual strong team of juveniles at his disposal and this one stepped up on his debut form to get the better of a three-way photo at Leicester. The runner-up has disappointed since but the third has won in good style and the form should hold up. Shark Man was fifth in the Brocklesby and cannot be ignored having run with credit on both starts since. His pilot claims a handy 3lbs and he should give another good account. The four newcomers all make some appeal on paper and hail from yards that know how to ready debutants but they've been set a fair standard to aim at by our selection, King's Approach.
