Forecasts

Knight To King (10/11), Lygon Street (9/4), King Of Wessex (7/1), Firm Handshake (15/2), Smote (9/1), Mr King (10/1), Sioux Eagle (50/1), Highland Sam (66/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (125/1)

Verdict

Those with experience don't set much of a standard and well-bred newcomer KNIGHT TO KING is taken to make a winning start to his career. The son of Kingman appears to be held in high regard (holds an entry in the Irish Derby) and it will look significant if there's confidence behind him in the betting. King of Wessex should be more street-wise following his debut spin at the Curragh and is taken to follow the selection home, with Firm Handshake best of the rest ahead of Lygon Street.
