A number of those declared (namely Borstall Bull, Zeimaam and Zoran) ought to prove capable of winning a similar contest, but tonight surely revolves around the John Gosden-trained newcomer WALDKONIG. This Kingman colt (from the Group 3 winner Waldlerche) is a half-brother to none other than the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Waldgeist. Therefore, the strong suspicion is that he'll be among the very top rank of the Gosden juveniles, and hopefully we're about to witness the start of a hugely successful racing career. Others worthy of market inspection include the fellow newcomers Royal Vote (Saeed bin Suroor) and Socially Shady (Karl Burke).
