6/4

Forecasts

Egoli (6/4), Song of The Clyde (9/4), Five Ways (6/1), Inca Heights (7/1), Court Alert (8/1), Gouken (9/1), Tie Fighter (14/1)

Clive Cox has bagged this twice in recent years so his Chester scorer SONG OF THE CLYDE gets the vote with more progress on the cards from this son of Sergei Prokofiev. York winner Egoli also looks to have better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger ahead of a trio of newcomers Five Ways, Gouken and Court Alert.
