KING OF THE SEA pulled well clear of the third when making a successful start to his handicap career at Haydock last month so even a 7 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely. Skibo was a promising second on his C&D handicap debut and may be the one to give Ed Walker's charge most to think about.
