Forecasts

Bishop's Crown (11/4), Uncle Matthew (10/3), Kind Spirit (7/2), City Cyclone (11/2), Dionysian (7/1), Campaign Trail (8/1), Outgun (11/1), Star Of Mayo (22/1), City Of York (50/1), Flying Panther (50/1), Highland Flyer (66/1), Wilpena Pound (200/1), Spotlight Beauty (200/1)

This can go the way of BISHOP'S CROWN, who shaped encouragingly first time up when fifth at Newbury last month and, with improvement on the cards immediately stepped up in trip, Eve Johnson Houghton's charge looks the one to side with. Dionysian showed plenty despite being forced to come from further back than ideal at Yarmouth so he's feared most, while Uncle Matthew looks a newcomer to note representing powerful connections.
