Forecasts

Delgrey Boy (11/8), Dr T J Eckleburg (11/4), Casilli (7/2), Komore (6/1), Vertice (11/1), Abnaa (14/1), Rockets Red Glare (33/1), O'Reilly's Pass (33/1), Diyari (40/1)

DELGREY BOY built on his 3-y-o promise with his reappearance behind him when making all at Thirsk on Saturday and looks the one to beat under a penalty with this longer trip expected to suit (dam 12f winner). Casilli did well to peg back one who had the run of things at Beverley and is feared most ahead of Dr T J Eckleburg.
