In the King’s Stand there’s an Aussie invader named Nicconi who is all the rage but I may look at Equiano, a French colt, who has lost to an inconsistent Kingsgate Native but will probably be better at 5 furlongs than 6 and should be better value.
Lastly, in the St James’s Place Canford Cliffs is coming in off a good looking form pattern. With Steinbeck and Makfi also taking money Canford Cliffs may drift up to some value. The rest of the Tuesday card is 2 year olds and stayers and I have no opinion on any of those.

A/T,
Great job discerning the nuance in the Stand and Palace to land on the 2 winners... G/L today and the rest of the week.
