Forecasts

King Of The South (6/4), Fair Star (9/4), Silent Performance (15/2), Polyphony (8/1), Alfred Richardson (16/1), Bay Of Naples (16/1), Paddyplex (16/1), Zabeel Star (25/1), Delph Crescent (33/1), Love Your Work (125/1)

FAIR STAR has progressed with every run on this surface at Wolverhampton and he can continue that progression off the same mark as when just touched off there last month. King of The South is another unexposed type who should have further improvement to come. Polyphony is ultra consistent and she should play a part.
