Not the strongest of openers to the card and Kings Inn has the best Flat form of these on offer although there are some slight stamina doubts. VAZIANI may therefore just offer a little more scope in betting terms for this likeable yard on his debut. Marettimo has plenty of experience and he could put that to good use but his jumping has been rather hit and miss. Of the fillies Sin Sin would very much be the most useful based on her Flat form and she’s not totally ruled out of this.
