Forecasts

Stone The Crows (9/4), Okool (3/1), Opinionate (3/1), Koeman (4/1), Duke Of Bronte (7/1), Star Of The East (8/1), Farquhar (9/1), Investigation (16/1), Stock Hill Fair (16/1), Knight Music (20/1), Dolphin Village (33/1)

Those at the top end of the handicap don’t make a lot of appeal and it may be best to concentrate on the three-year-old contingent here. Koeman goes on the hunt for a hat-trick and has to enter the equation with Opinionate also looking to have further progress in him. Duke Of Bronte could well bounce back from a poor run last time having shown enough to take a handicap like this but the real improver amongst the whole field is STONE THE CROWS who showed up well last time out and can one better here.
