Forecasts

Cash Machine (7/2), Royal Musketeer (6/1), Mohareb (6/1), Papa Stour (6/1), Strike Red (7/1), Irish Acclaim (9/1), Ivatheengine (12/1), Musicality (12/1), Imperial Force (18/1), Bowling Russian (22/1), Walls of Kano (33/1), Lipsink (33/1)

STRIKE RED took a big step forward at Hamilton last time and he could improve again to defy a 6 lb rise. Mohareb is a consistent sort and has to be respected after his Lingfield win. Cash Machine is an unexposed 3-y-o and he can't be ruled out.
