Forecasts

Wirko (30/100), Barn Owl (15/8), First Light (5/1), Evaluation (11/2), Wahraan (12/1), Tick Toch (18/1), Crane (25/1), Buxted Too (40/1), Crestwood (40/1), Tataboq (200/1), Yagan (250/1), Tolstoy's Tale (250/1)

WIRKO made a promising start to his career when runner-up at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and shades the vote over Barn Owl, who stepped up on his debut when second over C&D and has more to offer still. Dubawi-colt First Light is a newcomer to note for John Gosden and may prove best of the remainder.
