Forecasts

Dancing King (11/8), Side Shot (7/4), Wallem (16/5), Bowland Park (22/1), Coul Queen (80/1)

Most of these offer potential but DANCING KING is impossible to oppose under a 6 lb penalty after spreadeagling his field in a Wolverhampton handicap over this trip last week. John Gosden's Side Shot progressed well as a juvenile so is feared most on his return now stepping up in trip, with Wallem another to consider on his handicap bow.
