KING OF EARTH is a choicely bred sort on an upward curve and may have been let in lightly on handicap debut. The application of cheekpieces could give him an extra edge and he is taken to land the prize for Britain. Punica Granatum was unlucky not to score here last time behind a rival who has since won at Royal Ascot and rates the chief threat, with the unexposed Manton Bay, who shaped better than the bare result at Navan, and Antigua also respected.
