Forecasts

Verdict

KING OF CONG could be way better than his current mark and can make it 2-2 in handicaps under Darragh Allen. Oneforgonzo has a similar profile and seems sure to go well again raised 12 lb for his Naas success. Onlyamatteroftime is proving frustrating but drops markedly in class here for Willie Mullins.
