Forecasts

King Lud (13/8), Lucky Deal (15/8), Beer With The Boys (5/1), Midnight Wilde (13/2), Quantatmental (14/1)

KING LUD steps up in trip here but shapes as if this extra distance will suit and he is taken to register his first victory at the chief expense of Lucky Deal who ran a fair race in a highly competitive handicap last time. Quantatmental had been in good form prior to his latest AW start and he can finish third.
