Pulled up at Sandown in December, Kings Walk was never travelling when third at Taunton the following month but is probably capable of better. Djin Conti is an interesting recruit to chasing and should be suited by this intermediate distance while Cesar Et Rosalie arrives off the back of a win over 3m at Uttoxeter. Lex Talionis, Smuggler's Blues and Royal Magic could also figure but ORCHARDSTOWN CROSS took a big step forward at Taunton 10 days ago and can follow up in this slightly better race.
