Forecasts

King Of Ithaca (5/2), City Of York (10/3), Leitrim Rock (7/1), Redcliff Glen (17/2), Royal Dream (11/1), Valkyrian (14/1), Outrace (14/1), Hard Act To Follow (18/1), Crazy Crackers (22/1), Boxing Alex (22/1), Haughty (25/1), Roar Emotion (25/1), So Chic (66/1)

Preference is for KING OF ITHACA, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and made an encouraging debut for James Tate here earlier this month. Royal Dream and Leitrim Rock head the list of dangers.
