KARTHON reacted really well to first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Southwell a month ago and as an unexposed 3-y-o taking on his elders for the first time, he has a lot in his favour. Warrior Lion hasn't been with this yard long and the return to this trip will suit, so he's of interest, along with Kokinelli.
