Forecasts

Battle Angel (3/1), Too Big To Fail (10/3), Bouncing Bobby (11/2), Summer Power (6/1), Yukon (13/2), Four Kingdoms (13/2), Smart Lass (10/1), Lalipour (14/1), Cheese And Wine (50/1)

FOUR KINGDOMS pulled clear of the rest when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Carlisle 2 weeks ago so rates a big player off 1 lb higher. Smart Lass looked as good as ever when winning at Musselburgh and is next best ahead of 3-y-o Battle Angel, who went close at Tipperary on her final start for Emmet Mullins.
