Forecasts

Kingsholm (2/1), Street Life (7/2), True Hero (15/2), Hyde Park Barracks (10/1), Mutabaahy (11/1), Kim Wexler (12/1), Wings Of A Dove (12/1), Tantastic (12/1), Expert Opinion (20/1), Duke Of Firenze (22/1)

KINGSHOLM is a C&D winner and he's been running creditably this season. He's had less racing than plenty in here and he's taken to capitalise off a pound below his last winning mark. Street Life is in a purple patch at the moment and he won't be far away. True Hero is a prolific sprinter and he has to be taken seriously round here too.
