Forecasts

Optimistic Bias (5/2), River Of Intrigue (7/2), Ballypoint (15/2), Compadre (8/1), Calin Du Brizais (8/1), Court King (8/1), Big Brother George (12/1), Duke Arcadio (14/1), More Than Luck (16/1)

Verdict

River Of Intrigue may not be the best that Nicky Henderson will train, but he still merits a market check from today's mark of 107 and a good run cannot be ruled out. Compadre is very interesting now tried over 3m, while Optimistic Bias is still well treated on his best hurdling form. However, there has been a fair bit to like about how COURT KING has gone about his business and we will forgive him his latest run and take him to win again this time.
  1. Court King
  2. Optimistic Bias
  3. Compadre
