Racing Post verdict
Third-partyKing Of Earth tops our ratings, a Kingman-bred colt whose narrow Wolverhampton win has since been endorsed by subsequent form and whose opening handicap mark looks fair; first-time cheekpieces could bring more on a surface he should handle. Rolltight is the most direct challenger — his maiden win has been given solid backing and the mark looks workable — while the progressive Antigua, who took a maiden at Fairyhouse in dominant fashion last time in the new headgear, adds further depth to the dangers. King Of Earth is our selection.
