Forecasts

Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained KING'S VOW looks well placed to follow up his win over C&D last month. The four-year-old won for the second time at this venue when landing a 9K handicap off a 5lb lower mark and can hold off the attentions of Kasperenko who ran a pleasing race in defeat on first start for trainer Ken Condon last month. The Micheal Bowe-trained Jaime Sommers who won over a similar trip at Tramore in August looks next best.
