Forecasts

House Of Kings (10/3), Ertikaaz (9/2), Dinamine (9/2), Dreams Delivered (5/1), Praying Mantis (7/1), Kingslayer (15/2), Super Proud (17/2), Wonder Spirit (12/1), Fancy Red Diamond (12/1), Deadwood (16/1), Fryerns (18/1), Sam Missile (25/1), Lily Of The Glen (33/1), Born To Rule (40/1), Born Leader (50/1), Shazza (50/1), Runway Queen (125/1)

Having signed off for Noel Kelly with a claiming success, HOUSE OF KINGS shaped like a non-stayer when fifth starting out for his current yard so, back down to a more suitable test, he's fancied to account for a field that's lacking in depth. Dreams Delivered should pose a threat, and Dinamine is a player if in the same form as when runner-up over C&D last time.
