Forecasts

L L Koulsty (9/4), Silky Lass (3/1), Lakota Chief (6/1), Henry Halflight (13/2), Derrygarran Lad (15/2), Hengist Pod (15/2), Lorton Valley (20/1), Rocky River (25/1), Thependleburyfox (33/1)

Verdict

L L KOULSTY brings solid form from Ireland and looks the one to beat under a penalty. Lakota Chief failed to meet expectations on his debut here last month but should come on for the experience, while Silky Lass can make her presence felt again.
