Forecasts

Mercian King (11/10), Ivor's Queen (2/1), Flashman (5/1), The Yank (6/1)

This could well be a good opportunity for IVOR’S QUEEN to get off the mark after she shaped with some promise on her second start over fences last month. She doesn’t look badly handicapped here based on her hurdles mark and should be able to give weight to this consistent Mercian King who looks to be in the grip of the handicapper. Neither The Yank or Flashman are the easiest to deal with and should really only be concerned in a race for the places here.
