Forecasts

Eye Of The Water (11/4), Roundabout Silver (16/5), Newton Jack (7/2), Beautiful Crown (11/2), Lilandra (15/2), Boujee Gold (8/1), Wizarding (10/1), Girl Inthe Picture (12/1), The Conqueror (18/1), Volenti (25/1), Runner Bean (40/1)

EYE OF THE WATER has been running consistently well and has a solid track record, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways under another positive ride. In-form pair Lilandra and Roundabout Silver look the chief dangers.
