James Doyle looks to have every chance of making a winning start in his new role as retained jockey for Khalid Abdullah. KINGMAN made an impressive debut at Newmarket when scoring by six lengths and we'll get a better idea of just how good he is today. John Gosden's colt boasts a handful of big race entries and Emirates Flyer is also in the Racing Post Trophy. Mickael Barzalona rode the latter to victory at Headquarters earlier but partners Music Theory today. The Godolphin colt landed the odds with the minimum of fuss on his latest outing and should figure but Rosso Corsa is the most exposed and looks up against it in this company.
