LIEUTENANT GENERAL doesn't look one to risk the mortgage on but unless there's something special among the newcomers he should gain his first victory. A very promising debut behind a smart rival was followed by a defeat when long odds-on then a better effort behind stablemate Deauville in a Group 3 here last month. That should have boosted his confidence enough to take this. Star Of Kings looks best of his rivals with experience after a fair effort behind Shogun at the Curragh while the Teofilo colt Theodorico is the first foal of an unraced mare from a very smart family. Restless Rambler and Afzal are well connected newcomers to note for the future.
