All The King's Men will have benefited from a gentle introduction at the Curragh and the Ballydoyle colt is preferred to stablemate Isle Of Innisfree. The handicapper seems to have erred on the side of caution with the latter and rated him 89 despite recent defeats in maiden company and COUNT D’ORSAY makes more appeal. Now rated 92 after a good effort in a Listed contest at the Curragh, he should find this much easier. Cityman made a decent start when fourth at Tipperary and Archaeology may prove best of the rest after placing at Roscommon.
