Hot tempo expected with Echo Check, Sukhumvit and Alta Capitana heading the charge. Some promising types here. ECHO CHECK (3) is unbeaten from two runs, winning over 1160m by a space on debut before another spell. Returned over 1400m and was too good again. Fitter for it and can make it three straight. CHRONICLE KING (2) showed loads of ability last campaign and finished it off with a Grade 1 placing in the Champion Stakes. Goes well fresh and looks a top chance. Likewise, KING HARALD (6) was tested at the top level before a break, finishing alongside Chronicle King in fourth in the same race. Won only try fresh and should be in the finish. COPPER EAGLE (7) was tested to a mile before a break and did won only try fresh. Has good upside.
