Convergent
Scored on soft ground on debut; flopped in the German race won by Bay City Roller but otherwise progressive and overcame trouble to defy a Group 2 penalty in Group 3 contest at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut, taking record to 5-8; about 3l behind Lambourn at Chester last term but is now in the same ball park as that opponent on ratings, with a chance of further improvement to boot; adds great interest to this race.

From the connections
“Convergent has been working well with nice horses and I think he's a Group 1 horse in the making. The Coronation Cup [on June 6] would be high on the list, but whether he handles Epsom we'll find out. He's a mile-and-a-half horse with a turn of foot, and at that level they're hard to come by. If we can keep him going the right way there's a Group 1 in him for sure - Karl Burke, trainer.”
“Convergent has run a lovely race and is very much a work in progress. He's a horse for next season as well as this one. He's been running over shorter trips and was keen over the first couple of furlongs, then he got into a rhythm. Turning in I thought we'd win, before I thought we'd get run out of it, and then he's stayed on again. We know he stays a mile and a half well now and we're very happy for the future. I couldn't be happier without winning - Karl Burke, trainer.”
