Formscan - Hollie Doyle seems to get the best out of Man Is King and his two efforts in classified company since arriving from Ireland have resulted in a Chelmsford triumph and a close-up third here. He still needs to prove his stamina, though, whereas STARFIGHTER is a four-time C&D winner who, although firmly in the twilight of his career, retains enough ability to land a race of this nature. Belle Of Kt and Late Claim are both in with a shout too.
