Forecasts

Kinross (5/2), Motakhayyel (10/3), Glorious Journey (9/2), Royal Crusade (11/2), The Lir Jet (13/2), Lord Of The Lodge (13/2), With Thanks (7/1), Tinker Toy (10/1), Apollo One (11/1), Duke Of Hazzard (14/1), Mums Tipple (16/1)

Verdict

KINROSS proved well suited by the drop back to 7f when scoring at Haydock last time and this very talented son of Kingman might be capable of defying a 3 lb penalty. Glorious Journey was 2¾ lengths behind the selection in third at Haydock and this consistent sort should get a bit closer on the revised terms. Motakhayyel would also have a big part to play if recapturing his Bunbury Cup form.
