Sangarius wears a tongue-tie for his first start since finishing fourth to the brilliant Too Darn Hot in Newmarket's Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes, and merits respect now stepping up in trip. Walkinthesand has already proved conclusively that he has trained on for Richard Hannon with a pair of solid second-placed efforts in Newmarket Listed contests (Fielden Stakes/Newmarket Stakes), giving the supporters of UAE Jewel a scare latest. However, in an open race where the majority will find ample winning opportunities as the Flat season progresses, the soundest advice is to take a chance on the ultra-progressive KING OF COMEDY finding the required improvement.
