VALIANT KING was well backed and found improvement when second in a handicap at Leopardstown and, given he shaped best that day, he's likely to do better still. He's the obvious choice despite the presence of well-bred newcomer City of Chicago. Cormac T and Squire Danagher should both improve from encouraging debuts.
