Forecasts

Star Zinc (11/8), Soames Forsyte (4/1), Kelpie Grey (4/1), Vince Le Prince (7/1), Mark's Choice (17/2), Unsung Hero (10/1), Explorers Way (14/1), Eagle Creek (33/1), Miss Britain (40/1), Lady Manyara (40/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to KELPIE GREY, who showed improved form to get off the mark on his second start back from a mid-season break at Ayr three weeks ago. He displayed plenty of resolution that day and a 2 lb rise doesn't look at all harsh. Mark's Choice shaped pretty well at Hamilton and is next on the list ahead of Soames Forsyte and Unsung Hero. Vince Le Prince also needs a second look, but Explorers Way is opposable up 10 lb for last month's C&D success given his patchy profile.

  1. KELPIE GREY
  2. MARK'S CHOICE (IRE)
  3. SOAMES FORSYTE
