Forecasts

Wrydcroft (4/1), Ey Up He's A Star (4/1), Clasina (6/1), Finn Ironside (7/1), Singoura (15/2), Pearly Squirrel (15/2), Reginald Charles (9/1), Giant (9/1), Pianoforte (10/1), Yafaarr (14/1), Onemorenomore (14/1), Ziggy's Angel (20/1), Born A Rebel (33/1), Yehudi (33/1), Sir David (33/1), Mecca's Symphony (40/1), The New Bay Pearl (100/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but EY UP HE'S A STAR rates the pick of the weights on the back of a promising Thirsk third so gets the vote from Pam Sly's progressive Southwell scorer Wrydcroft who rates a big threat. Giant, Onemorenomore and Reginald Charles can fight it out for minor honours.
