Forecasts

King Of War (11/10), Naval Academy (11/5), Gentle Ellen (4/1), Streak Lightning (9/2), Unsung Hero (18/1), Max Stripes (28/1)

NAVAL ACADEMY shaped quite well when clear with a pair of 3-y-os at Pontefract last time and turns out again before a 2 lb rise for that kicks in. The in-form King of War looks the obvious danger.
