A host in with chances but STYLE KING took a big step forward on yard/handicap debut when second at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and, with better still to come, Chris Dwyer's charge gets the nod to go one better. His main threat may emerge from Cupola, who took a step forward last time and this switch to a handicap/turf could unlock further progress. Valsharah and Moostar can fight out minor honours.
