Forecasts

Jack Darcy (13/8), King Of The South (7/4), Alright Sunshine (6/1), Manu Et Corde (13/2), Sir Chauvelin (9/1), Dark Jedi (10/1), Pirate King (22/1)

KING OF THE SOUTH won this corresponding event in 2021 and, with a recent run at Kempton likely to have put him spot on, he's taken to repeat the feat. Jack Darcy is easily the least exposed and could get back on track now handicapping, with Pirate King worth a second look returning from a break.
