KING'S TRUST upped his game following a gelding operation when beating a now useful rival at Southwell in October and with further progress on the cards, John & Thady Gosden's charge gets the nod to make a winning start to life in handicaps. His main threat may emerge from Blue Courvoisier, who is yet to finish outside the first 2 in 3 starts and should have more to offer. Arbaawy can edge out Luzon Heights for third.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Blue Courvoisier, who is expected to try and race close up: A strong early pace seems highly likely. King's Trust could be suited if held up as expected.
Individual Price Hint: Arbaawy traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
