Forecasts

Optimistic Bias (5/2), River Of Intrigue (7/2), Ballypoint (15/2), Compadre (8/1), Calin Du Brizais (8/1), Court King (8/1), Big Brother George (12/1), Duke Arcadio (14/1), More Than Luck (16/1)

River Of Intrigue may not be the best that Nicky Henderson will train, but he still merits a market check from today's mark of 107 and a good run cannot be ruled out. Compadre is very interesting now tried over 3m, while Optimistic Bias is still well treated on his best hurdling form. However, there has been a fair bit to like about how COURT KING has gone about his business and we will forgive him his latest run and take him to win again this time.
