Verdict
Although he was backed, CLOUD KING ran as if he'll be sharper for last month's Southwell reappearance and might be worth siding with in first-time cheekpieces under Tom Marquand. The Thames Boatman has done his winning on AW but has shown he can be competitive from this lower turf mark before and is feared most ahead of Tan Rapido
