Forecasts

Zipster (10/3), City Of York (4/1), Glam Squad (9/2), Savvy Exchange (6/1), Urban Sprawl (15/2), Quiet Resolve (8/1), Classic Encounter (12/1), Stockpyle (16/1), Bowood (22/1), King Of Scotia (25/1), Bernalda (25/1), Shimmering Sands (50/1)

ZIPSTER emerged with plenty of credit when second in a strong race for the grade at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and this previous C&D scorer makes plenty of appeal. Fellow 3-y-o Classic Encounter is feared most, with City of York completing the shortlist returned to a more suitable trip.
