Forecasts

Mr King (15/8), Barbapapa (3/1), Pier Pressure (6/1), Spanish Tenor (13/2), Barnhill Rose (9/1), Wisdomofhindsight (12/1), Moondharrig (12/1), Dragon Of Malta (28/1)

Verdict

MR KING posted another sound effort when fourth in a deeper C&D handicap than this a month ago and representing an in-form yard, he has a lot in his favour. Moondharrig has been thriving on the AW and is a big threat if as effective on turf/1m, with Barnhill Rose completing the shortlist.

  1. MR KING (IRE)

  3. BARNHILL ROSE
