Verdict
ASTRO KING is a 375,000gns son of Kingman out of a French middle-distance winner and Sir Michael Stoute will be disappointed if he can’t win a Class 5 maiden on his introduction. Unresolved is by Frankel but was disappointing in two runs last year with the filly Hesssa showing more promise at Leicester in September and certain to be suited by the step up in trip. Mersin is quite stoutly bred so may need further but Newcastle fourth Jahrawi has each-way claims.
