Forecasts

Serenading (5/2), Cosmos Raj (7/2), Soaring Star (5/1), Old News (11/2), Crownthorpe (10/1), Jewel Maker (14/1), Whatwouldyouknow (16/1), Willie John (20/1), Kentuckyconnection (20/1), Tangled (28/1), Swinging Eddie (40/1), Streak Lightning (100/1)

WHATWOULDYOUKNOW is enjoying an excellent season and can bag a fourth win of 2021 now he gets back on tapeta after a solid Redcar fifth. Soaring Star must enter calculations nudged up only 1 lb for his recent C&D success, while Cosmos Raj and Tangled merit plenty of respect too in a tight-knit handicap.
