Forecasts

Settle For Bay (11/8), Alcatraz (7/2), Ishebayorgrey (5/1), Reckless Lad (10/1), Secret Wizard (10/1), Coherent (12/1), Red Avenger (14/1), Sheisdiesel (14/1), Queensbrydge (20/1)

Secret Wizard from stall two will possibly be the one to lead the field in the early clashes of the contest with Settle For Bay leading the pack in behind. The steady pace could set the race up for the likes of Alcatraz who has been finishing behind some decent types and ISHEBAYORGREY who can continue his winning run and improvement here.
