Forecasts

Shaka The King (11/10), Cudgel (4/1), Gipsy Lee Rose (4/1), Hidden Cargo (13/2), First Illusion (7/1), Bannside (10/1), Oh No (40/1)

A few of these arrive with question marks against them. GIPSY LEE ROSE is a long time without a win but comes here in good order and also hails from a yard among the winners so can make the most of a good opportunity. Shaka The King rates the obvious threat on the back of his excellent Ayr second, with Hidden Cargo appealing as the pick of the remainder.
