Verdict

Having caught the eye on his penultimate start, EMPEROR CARADOC fully confirmed the promise of that run when getting on top late on over 5f at Redcar 9 days ago. He ought to be highly competitive again on the back of a 4 lb rise with the return to 6f a likely plus. Kats Bob and Fizzy Cristal are others to consider, along with Acclaimed Freedom.
