It could be worth giving SUN KING another chance. He's contested a couple of interesting maidens and was well backed when fluffing his lines at Killarney last time. This extra furlong will suit and it will be disappointing if he doesn't have races in him. There is more to come from Zuhra, while Olympic Flame heads up a host of intriguing newcomers.
