Forecasts

Beyond Equal (3/1), Ghathanfar (10/3), Strike (4/1), On Edge (13/2), Symbol of Hope (9/1), Newyorkstateofmind (12/1), The Cola Kid (14/1), Roman Spring (14/1), Beau Roc (125/1)

A few with chances but Ruth Carr's NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND looks the way to go here with the form of his reappearance Wolverhampton success working out well. Beyond Equal is on a long losing sequence but still rates the main danger off an easing mark. Strike is another weighted to play a part if ready to roll after six months off the course.
