Forecasts

The Kings Writ (13/8), Duke Des Champs (15/8), Lord Bryan (4/1), Pressurize (7/1), Tara Bridge (16/1)

Having run a fairly decent race at Cheltenham on Trials in January against better rivals than these, THE KINGS WRIT is worth supporting for a second success in four starts this season with Harry Cobden (successful in their only race together) back on top. Both Duke Des Champs and Lord Bryan could benefit from being dropped in distance and are of interest while the returning Pressurize is worth a market check on what might prove the best day to catch him.
