Verdict

This maiden has thrown up some smart winners and 2000 Guineas entrant KING OF EARTH is fancied to build on previous promise and give William Haggas another success. Lighting Thunder also has better days ahead of him and rates a big threat though, while several others bring plenty of potential, including Spirit of Saxony, Exclusive Code and Blue Aria.
