13/2
10/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, soft) 19 days ago. 13 lb rise demands more of him but he hasn't been with his in-form yard long.

3/1
Progressive in handicap hurdles, making it 3 wins in last 4 starts when seeing off 14 rivals at Navan (16f, heavy, 2/1) 25 days ago. Even a 13 lb rise may not prevent him going in again.

Forecasts

Wee Charlie (5/2), Carbon King (3/1), Bal De Rio (4/1), Your Honor (9/2), Cafe Con Leche (13/2), Holmes St Georges (8/1), Ebasari (14/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (22/1), Darkened (50/1)

Verdict

CARBON KING has improved in leaps and bounds since switched to handicaps and might still be a sstep ahead of the assessor. Wee Charlie is another who is going the right way and is feared most ahead of last month's Limerick juvenile scorer Your Honor.
