Forecasts

William Dewhirst (7/4), King's School (11/4), Tomorrow Day (6/1), Conquest Of Power (6/1), Alreet Cha (13/2), Streak Lightning (16/1), Shaw Park (16/1), Harry Magnus (16/1), Bobby Joe Leg (18/1), Ahamoment (25/1), Tyke (40/1), Kalganov (40/1)

KING'S SCHOOL rates just the pick of the weights so edges the vote in this very open-looking handicap. Hat-trick seeking William Dewhirst heads the list of dangers, with Alreet Cha, Bobby Joe Leg and Shaw Park all in the mix too. Streak Lightning completes the shortlist.
