King to make it third time lucky

KING Of The Nile, clearly a long way down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, is napped to win the Sporting Emporium Maiden at Fairyhouse tonight.

The son of Oasis Dream has clearly taken a long time to come to hand, showing nothing in one outing as a juvenile.

He reappeared at Limerick six day ago and there was sufficient merit in the performance to indicate this moderate contest may be within his compass.
