FormscanBy Mark Nunan - KING OF THE CASTLE shaped encouragingly on debut at Gowran when keeping on for fourth behind stable companion Roman Empire. The full-brother to Derby winner Serpentine can improve past the third home that day, Rave N Contagion, and take this before going on to better things. The other Ballydoyle newcomers, Key To the Kingdom and Modus Operandi, are worth keeping an eye on as well and expensive yearling Taipan, a half-brother to a Listed winning sprinter, is a noteworthy first-timer for Jessica Harrington. Team Of Firsts should improve a nice bit from a pleasing debut fourth at Navan and he might have better prospects than the more exposed 83-rated Dublin Journal.
