Verdict

THE KING OF PRS won cosily at Punchestown last time and can make light of an 8 lb rise with further progress very much on the cards. Useful Flat performer Firstman is a possible major threat from a modest opening mark in this sphere, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Ventnor and Single Edition are others who could have a part to play.
