Forecasts

Island Star (13/8), Never Ending (3/1), Greysful Storm (7/2), Mighty River (9/2), Golden Maverick (17/2), Golspie (17/2), Feud (10/1), John Chard Vc (12/1), The Jackler (50/1)

Verdict

ISLAND STAR is thriving under the expert tutelage of Roger Varian and can bag a second success on the back of his fast-finishing Sandown third last time. Never Ending looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most now going handicapping. In-form pair Mighty River and Feud complete the shortlist.
