Forecasts

Holy Kingdom (8/13), Swift Wing (5/4), King's Counsel (25/1)

SWIFT WING is less exposed than Holy Kingdom and has improved since being gelded and racing in blinkers the last twice. Allied to that, is the gelding's stamina-laden pedigree, which might just give him the edge despite him having 3lb to find on the official ratings (Cieren Fallon's claim could also be factor if weight becomes an issue, so a cautious betting check is still advised.) King's Counsel needs a big step forward from his debut run if he's going to seriously trouble his two rivals.
