Forecasts

Showalong (15/8), Cottam Lane (9/4), Shalaa Asker (4/1), Radrizzani (7/1), Rose All Day (9/1), Good Listener (10/1), Ireland's Eye (33/1), Ava Go Joe (33/1), Impeller (80/1), Forza Del Destino (100/1)

This may go to one of the 3 penalised previous winners, with marginal preference for COTTAM LANE, who improved from debut to win at Beverley 3 weeks ago, and likely has more to offer after only 2 runs. Shalaa Asker and Showalong were a bit below par in nursery company last time, but can't be discounted on the pick of their form. Good Listener is the interesting newcomer.
