KINGS HALO arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways off a still handy-looking mark. Joseph O'Brien's Gracchus de Balme still has better days ahead of him though in this sphere so rates a big threat, with Spirit of Legend appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
