FormscanBy Gary Carson - MR KING has been running well in some competitive handicaps this season and looks capable of scoring off his current mark. The Kingman gelding was a staying on fourth over course and distance last month and a similar effort should see him bang there. Moondharrig was in great form on the all-weather earlier in the year and has to be respected on his return from a short break. He is 7lb higher than when winning at Dundalk in early April and takes a step up in grade. Barbapapa is another that had good form at Dundalk when last seen and also has to come into calculations.
