Forecasts

Kingson (7/2), Rose Of Lancashire (7/2), International Law (4/1), Zealous (8/1), Iron Sheriff (9/1), Vintage Polly (11/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (14/1), Uccello (16/1), So Macho (20/1), Lofty (22/1), Gloryella (150/1)

INTERNATIONAL LAW was caught wide when only mid-division over C&D last time and had run well at Wolverhampton prior to that so he might be worth siding with under Serena Brotherton. Kingson knows where the winning post is, which counts for plenty at this level, so he's feared most ahead of Vintage Polly, who should play a part if her stamina holds up in trip.
