Forecasts

Kingboard Star (8/13), Secret Strength (7/2), Scattering (7/1), Catch Cunningham (9/1), Mehsmerise (20/1), Cotai Class (40/1), Cotai Grey (40/1), Cianciana (125/1)

Verdict

A few in with a shout here but the vote goes to KINGBOARD STAR, who made a winning start in smooth fashion at Bath just over 3 weeks ago and, with further improvement a distinct possibility, can maintain his unbeaten record for Ed Walker. Secret Strength heads the dangers on his all-weather debut back in calmer waters after his Royal Ascot flop, ahead of Catch Cunningham.

  1. KINGBOARD STAR (IRE)
  2. SECRET STRENGTH (IRE)
  3. CATCH CUNNINGHAM (IRE)
