Forecasts

Kellyiscool (4/7), Star Maker (10/3), Koroleva (9/2), Fontainbleau (25/1), Rising (33/1), Klassy Kay (50/1), Alnahar (66/1)

A weak race to kick things off and this looks a good opportunity for KELLYISCOOL to get off the mark over hurdles. Having run two crackers in big field handicaps the last twice he should find this much easier. Koroleva will be a major danger if putting her best foot forward.
