Can young Candy sprinter justify favouritism and stake claim to sprint honours?

Henry Candy's four-year-old is the second-lowest-rated sprinter in the field. Twilight Calls won a handicap in April. Tis Marvellous is rated 13lb higher than Twilight calls. Recaibo finished second in last season’s King”s Stand. Came From The Dark is a 25-1 shot for the King's Stand at 3.05pm. The Palace House Stakes has been the seasonal starting point for plenty of Group 1 winners in recent years. Mayson, Sole Power, Goldream, Profitable, Marsha, Mabs Cross and Profifer have used this race en route to top-level success.

Twilight Calls is the son of Twilight Son and won a handicap at the Craven meeting this month. He is well drawn in stall 12 close to the stands' rail. Jockey David Probert rode him with supreme confidence. Kyllachy won for Henry Candy in the traditional prelude to 2,000 Guineas.

William Haggas, trainer of Hurricane Ivor, is keen to run him at Newmarket. Ed Walker is planning to start Came From The Dark in the King's Stand Stakes at Ascot. Clive Cox is working back from the race and wants to focus on Temple Stake. Henry Candy is hoping Twilight Calls will be able to step up to the Group company. Roger Teal is trainer for Whenthedealinsdone. Ben Curtis is rider of Zarzyni. The Front Runner is Chris Cook's latest email newsletter.
