Forecasts

Valiant King (4/9), Squire Danagher (5/1), City Of Chicago (13/2), Sullivan Bay (10/1), Cormac T (18/1), Van Demon (18/1), Scatchwah (40/1), Unification (40/1), Wado Cherokee (66/1), Melrose Duchess (80/1), The Mighty One (125/1), Lucky Question (150/1), Spring Evening (200/1), Donadea Dreamer (200/1), Sleepless Knight (250/1)

Verdict

VALIANT KING was well backed and found improvement when second in a handicap at Leopardstown and, given he shaped best that day, he's likely to do better still. He's the obvious choice despite the presence of well-bred newcomer City of Chicago. Cormac T and Squire Danagher should both improve from encouraging debuts.

  1. VALIANT KING
  2. CITY OF CHICAGO (IRE)
  3. CORMAC T
