HEROES OF RENOWN rates the clear form pick on the strength of his Listowel second in first-time cheekpieces and is hard to side against with the headgear retained here. King's Vow has yet to match his useful Flat form in this sphere but is still feared most, with the in-form Flurry Yeats another who can have a say.
