Forecasts

L L Koulsty (11/8), Silky Lass (10/3), Lakota Chief (10/3), Derrygarran Lad (8/1), Lorton Valley (12/1), Henry Halflight (22/1), Hengist Pod (40/1), Rocky River (40/1), Thependleburyfox (250/1)

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.

  1. L L Koulsty11/8
  2. Lakota Chief10/3
  3. Silky Lass10/3
