Forecasts

Strike (13/8), Kath's Toyboy (2/1), Youllovemewheniwin (16/5), Hyde Park Barracks (7/1)

YOULLOVEMEWHENIWIN arrives in form and his emphatic success over this C&D earlier in the season sticks in the mind, so he's preferred to Kath's Toyboy in a race that the pair may well dominate. Strike is the least exposed and bred to do better, but he's been handed a stiff mark based on what he's achieved.
