Racing Post verdict

Third-party

King's Crown gets the vote not as the highest-rated in the field but on a progressive profile and a clear fitness edge over more exposed rivals, with recent figures trending the right way. Curious Rover sits on top of our figures and is the most obvious danger on bare form, while Lion's House and Brazen Idol both have the scope to feature if translating useful recent efforts into a bigger performance. It's a tightly-matched sprint and confidence here is low, but that upward trajectory and readiness make King's Crown our selection.

Racing Post pick: King's Crown
