It's hard to oppose AGE OF KINGS after his very promising start at Naas for all there are some appealing newcomers here, not least stablemate Congo River, who is partnered by Ryan Moore. Blanc de Noir and Hellsing are also interesting first time up, while Woodcock Flight can improve on his first run here 3 weeks ago.
