Forecasts

Reservardo (13/8), Michaela's Boy (11/4), Master Of My Fate (3/1), Star Chorus (11/2), Hi Lord (13/2), Kinetic Force (13/2), Guns Firing (25/1)

A tight-knit sprint in which preference is for the consistent MICHAELA'S BOY who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when down the field in the Dash at Epsom last time and can now capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark. Redcar runner-up Reservardo heads the list of dangers while Kinetic Force, Master of My Fate and Hi Lord also need factoring in.
