KING OF EDEN bids for a hat-trick off an 8lb higher mark. But given he scored by four lengths with the minimum of fuss at Ayr last time, Eric Alston's charge looks likely to go in again. Al Muheer was well beaten in better company at Ascot last Saturday but can go close in this grade while Dubai Hills beat Polish World at Redcar last month but would prefer slower ground. That shouldn't be a problem for Roker Park who gave signs of a return to form last time though this is tougher than the claimer won by Fathsta at Epsom last week.
