Forecasts

Aryaah (13/8), Midnight Train (9/4), Rolypolymoly (13/2), Showman (11/1), King Of The Kippax (12/1), Benjamin Bear (14/1), Young Winston (18/1), Kingdom Girl (22/1), Cicely (25/1), Manshoodah (40/1), Octopus (50/1), Eddie The Beagle (66/1), Due A Rum (66/1), Homer's Girl (100/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT TRAIN should go on improving and can secure the hat-trick for Clive Cox. Aryaah likely remains ahead of the handicapper after last week's near-miss here and seems sure to go well again. Benjamin Bear has more to offer and could push them close on his first go on turf.
