Forecasts

Kendergarten Kop (9/4), Aweemaweh (16/5), Batchelor Boy (7/2), Wiley Post (7/2), Lets Go Lucky (9/2), Secret Potion (17/2), Lady Quickstep (14/1), Whistling Sands (40/1), Island Memory (80/1)

KENDERGARTEN KOP has been transformed by the refitting of blinkers and is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick saddling just a 5 lb penalty for his latest emphatic victory here. Lady Quickstep looks the one to give him most to do, especially if the application of a visor has the desired effect. Secret Potion isn't taken lightly either on the back of his Bath success.
