The Dragon King
Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds.

From the connections
“I've seen it all now. I was working out what to tell the members at halfway when The Dragon King was last and going nowhere as it was going to be a long day, but what a ride by William. When you see a horse come with that rattle, you know they're going to get there. We like to buy this type of horse from the Somerville sale. He was a sensible purchase and Tattersalls have looked after the owners well here today. I think there is a Group 2 race we can supplement him for, but we'll have to celebrate this first - Middleham Park racing manager Tim Palin.”
