Forecasts

Hidden Cyclone (9/4), Sandymount Duke (11/4), Sadler's Risk (4/1), Diamond King (4/1), Draycott Place (10/1), Stone Hard (14/1)

HIDDEN CYCLONE is getting on a bit in years but seems to retain all his enthusiasm for the game, and has been found a suitable opportunity back over fences, getting weight here from chief rival Sadler's Risk. He doesn't race much at this trip these days but he stays it well and will set a target for the others to aim at. Sadler's Risk has done little wrong and will try and pick Hidden Cyclone off late in the day but that weight concession may prove just too much. Sandymount Duke is nothing if not game and can prove best of the rest.
