THEFLYINGKING showed a good attitude to make his third bumper start a winning one at Wexford in March and looks the first string on jockey bookings for a yard seeking a seventh consecutive win in the race, so he earns the vote. Some Song and Kaiser de Chanay are a couple of interesting recruits from the point sphere who merit plenty of respect.
