Forecasts

Glen Esk (15/8), Violet's Lads (5/2), Kentucky Kingdom (3/1), Blessed (5/1), Hot Summer (13/2), Dolphin Vista (7/1), Gold Souk (7/1), Time To Sea (12/1), Broad Appeal (14/1)

Plenty in with a shout in this open finale. GOLD SOUK gets the nod to build on a good effort at Lingfield last weekend. Glen Esk, Hot Summer and Dolphin Vista may give him most to think about.
