Forecasts

Vivas (4/1), Psychedelic Rock (5/1), King's Wharf (11/2), Mondello (6/1), Man Of Plenty (9/1), As You Like (12/1), Zig Zag (14/1), Chevalgris (14/1), Crookstown (14/1), Green Zone (20/1), El Massivo (25/1), Auenwirbel (25/1), Our Thomas (28/1)

KING'S WHARF can record a second victory since joining this stable by taking this handicap hurdle. Gavin Cromwell's charge enjoyed plenty of success for his previous yard and can notch a fourth hurdles victory with the forecast ground and trip both likely to suit today. Psychadelic Rock has been running well since joining this stable and is taken to claim second on his handicap debut while Mondello, runner-up here last time out can take third.
