Forecasts

Impressor (2/1), Rory (9/4), Kraken Power (7/2), Gowanbuster (5/1), Lady Celia (11/2), Mews House (8/1), Sixcor (17/2), Nodsasgoodasawink (14/1), Grandads Best Girl (66/1)

RORY shaded a blanket finish at Hamilton on Wednesday and unpenalised for that, is selected to score again in the hope he gets a good pace to aim at (regularly starts slowly). Impressor is the obvious threat, though Lady Celia is fancied to leave her reappearance run well behind.
