Forecasts

Kings Champion (10/11), Talk To The Man (11/4), Crest Of Stars (7/2), Angel Wave (11/2), Bye Bye Salam (16/1), Kings Order (100/1), Marhaba Million (150/1), Hannibal Bogan (150/1), Like A Dancer (200/1)

Verdict

KINGS CHAMPION looked a good prospect when opening his account at Ayr last month and can defy a 7 lb penalty at the chief expense of course scorer Crest Of Stars who rates a big threat though now stepping up in trip. Hurdling newcomers Talk To The Man and Angel Wave bring potential and are not without interest either in an intriguing contest.

  1. KINGS CHAMPION (FR)
  2. CREST OF STARS (IRE)
  3. TALK TO THE MAN (IRE)
