Forecasts

Striking Star (9/4), Lord Of Biscay (3/1), Grey's Monument (9/2), Caragio (9/1), Knight (10/1), Ancestral Land (18/1), Oviedo (18/1), Promoter (22/1), Defence Of Fort (25/1)

Verdict

GREY'S MONUMENT hasn't looked back since fitted with blinkers and his decisive nursery win at York is comfortably the best form on offer. He lacks the scope of some but still has to be the call at the forecast prices. Striking Star could be well named after the superb impression he created on debut and he could be anything but he certainly hasn't been missed in the market. Caragio and Lord of Biscay are promising, too.

  1. GREY'S MONUMENT
  2. STRIKING STAR
  3. CARAGIO (IRE)
