Successful on his only start as a 2-y-o, SAHARA KING has improved again in defeat this year, posting a very good second on handicap debut at Newmarket 2 weeks ago. Very much the type to progress further, he shades preference over similarly upwardly-mobile pair Al Azd and Lost Boys. Tierra Del Toro is another well worthy of a second look.
