Forecasts

Flicka's Girl (15/8), King Of Angels (9/4), Columnist (5/2), Cabelleroso (3/1), Stapleford Park (9/2), One More Guinness (20/1), Washington Dancer (25/1), Boro Queen (66/1)

KING OF ANGELS did well to hang in there considering he raced wider than ideal on his recent C&D debut and is expected to show the benefit of that initial outing and come out on top. Columnist makes most appeal of the newcomers before market clues, with Flicka's Girl likely to run well again under a penalty.
