Forecasts

London (10/3), King Of Swing (5/1), Munfallet (5/1), Storm Cry (6/1), Cricklewood Green (6/1), Poetic Force (7/1), Duke Of North (7/1), Good Luck Charm (8/1), Morache Music (16/1), El Torito (33/1)

Verdict

Storm Cry landed the odds at Brighton last time out with a minimum off and may be suited stepping up to this trip but she will have to raise her game as well on that bare form. Good Luck Charm was also on target at that venue latest but doesn't boast a great record around here. Poetic Force ran his best race on turf last time at Salisbury over 1m and would have a say if able to replicate or build on that now. In a wide open finale it might be worth giving a chance to MUNFALLET, who scored a double around this time last year and will handle the likely surface without issue. He's dropped 10lb below his previous winning mark and perhaps the in-form Sean Levey can derive a winning tune from him now.
