Forecasts

Enola Grey (5/6), Cusack (9/2), Keep Me Stable (10/1), King Triton (10/1), Ledger (12/1), Fifty Sent (16/1), Whatwouldyouknow (16/1), Pembrokeshire (22/1), Thunder Max (33/1), Lady Manyara (66/1)

Verdict

ENOLA GREY is knocking on the door and taken to gain a deserved success now able to race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a slow-starting second at Southwell last time. King Triton is weighted to have a big say and next on the list, with Whatwouldyouknow also well in the mix in a competitive event.
