An opening-looking contest, with KING TURGEON an interesting contender as he makes his British debut. Bred to make a chaser, the 5-y-o was placed on both of his outings over fences in France and he can make a successful start for David Pipe. Heading the list of dangers is winning-hurdler Marco Island, who has the look of a better chaser, while Garincha is also capable of going well.
