Forecasts

King Of York (85/40), Beylerbeyi (9/2), Bowood (5/1), City Cyclone (13/2), Homer Stokes (13/2), Dion Baker (9/1), Devasboy (10/1), Airshow (11/1), Reputation (12/1), Buraback (16/1), Coolree (20/1), Hailey Ya Mal (40/1)

KING OF YORK deserves a change of luck and could be the way to go back in trip. Beylerbeyi is a big danger after a good second in a Newcastle handicap that has worked out. Wolverhampton-winner City Cyclone must be respected also.
