In depth
Verdict
THIRD KINGDOM is by Make Believe out of a USA two-year-old Grade 1 winner and will know his job. Thunder Of Niagara is bred for a mile and more but should still have enough pace to make his presence felt while Captain Magnum has a very speedy pedigree and his yard is up and running. Ventura Mutiny is another who should have pace to burn as should Rebel At Dawn, a half-brother to a 7f two-year-old winner.
