Forecasts

William Dewhirst (3/1), King's School (4/1), Beattie Is Back (9/2), Red Maids (11/2), Barnaby (8/1), Alreet Cha (9/1), Commander Of Life (12/1), Starliner (14/1), Petra Celera (66/1), Homer Stokes (100/1)

Verdict

KING'S SCHOOL is steadily progressive so there's every chance he can complete the hat-trick. His old adversaries Red Maids and William Dewhirst, who both had their winning runs ended by the selection, head the dangers.

  1. King's School4/1
  2. Red Maids11/2
  3. William Dewhirst3/1
