Forecasts

Mercian King (7/4), Royal Plaza (9/4), Le Precieux (9/4), Purple 'n Gold (8/1)

MERCIAN KING can go one better than when finishing second last time by taking this four runner handicap chase. The selection has the trip and ground to suit and can get the better of Le Precieux who receives weight from his rivals here. Third place can go the way of Royal Plaza who should appreciate this return to handicaps.
