Forecasts

Shamrokh (7/4), Red Hot Chilly (3/1), King Kevin (4/1), Hard Toffee (5/1), Lazarus (6/1), Golden Nectar (16/1), The Third Man (25/1), Echo Brava (33/1)

Verdict

King Kevin is running out of his skin right now and even a further 6lb hike for his most recent Wolverhampton success may not be enough to anchor him, though SHAMROKH may just prove too tough. Michael Appleby has been getting an increasingly better tune out of the former John Gosden inmate of late and he escapes punishment for winning an apprentices event over 1m here last week. The lightly-raced Golden Nectar looks the most interesting of the remainder with Adam Kirby an eyecatching booking.
