Forecasts

Kenstone (9/5), Villalobos (7/2), Alyara (4/1), Hawk Jet (5/1), Agapanther (6/1), Barleybrown (9/1), Macon Belle (12/1), Headshot (20/1), Lion Ring (20/1), Ourdefence (100/1)

KENSTONE has lost none of his enthusiasm despite his advancing years and he can make his first Bath visit of the season a winning one. Villalobos returned to form at Lingfield 10 days ago and he's a threat, along with Alyara.
