VALIANT KING just failed to catch Signore Bellissimo, who was receiving 15lb, in a Leopardstown handicap and can go one better. Squire Danagher never got into contention at Cork but will have come on for the run as will Cormac T for a very encouraging start at Gowran. Sullivan Bay is one to note in the market while City Of Chicago is related to a couple of winners, though has no fancy entries.
