Forecasts

Holbache (6/4), Kodiak Attack (3/1), Firenze Rosa (8/1), Katherine Place (10/1), Starchant (12/1), Rivers Lad (16/1), Hyba (18/1), Fairy Fast (20/1), Teddy B (22/1), Aventurina (25/1), Ascot Jungle (50/1)

KODIAK ATTACK has dropped a long way in the weights and could now be ready to strike again after stopping the slide at Chepstow last week. Holbache needed only to be pushed out to come out on top at Bath 7 days ago, so looks the main threat under a penalty.
