KING'S LEGACY is on an upwards curve and has a solid chance of landing his three-timer today. Organisateur and Stormhoek have shown promise and can make life difficult for the selection. Stormhoek does still need to brush up on his jumping, though. He may be one to keep on the back-burner until he truly gets his act together unless the market vibes are too strong to ignore. Organisateur came through the French ranks - showing plenty of promise on the Flat during his time with Carlos Laffon-Parias. He travelled smoothly to make a winning debut for Paul Nicholls and can no doubt give his stablemate a run for the money. However, jockey bookings strongly suggest King's Legacy is the main hope for the Paul Nicholls yard and, even though the penalties are mounting up, this fellow is very much on the upgrade and can be a strong fancy in a race lacking on strength in depth.
