Verdict

KING'S CASTLE made his second start for new yard a winning one when scoring at Ffos Las 25 days ago, coming from further back than the others who made the frame, and he can build on that effort to follow up. The main danger could be Foreseen, who has been finding his way for current trainer, ahead of Angelica K.
