KING OF EDEN never threatened at Newcastle last week when attempting to land a hat-trick. He won a shade cosily over C&D in June, however, when beating today's rival My Kingdom and the return to this track could give him the edge. Mark Johnston won last year's renewal and both Galician and Lady Macduff have decent claims but Dr Red Eye has a high draw to contend with on the back of a recent third at Epsom. White Frost showed his first worthwhile form of the season when runner-up at York last week but will need things to go his way from an outside berth.
