Forecasts

Lakers (4/6), Lazy Griff (10/3), Knights Gold (15/2), Gentle Warrior (11/1), Divine Legacy (14/1), West Tyrone (20/1), King Of Lir (40/1)

LAKERS confirmed debut promise when landing the odds at Ffos Las and can defy a penalty with further progress likely up in trip. Lazy Griff is worth another chance to build on his debut back down in class and is feared most, with Gentle Warrior making most appeal of the newcomers.
