Forecasts

Casey Jones (11/8), Kripke (3/1), Lovely Approach (4/1), Kwanza (7/1), Kapow (8/1)

Both Lovely Approach (Hugo Palmer) and Kwanza (David Simcock) promise plenty based on their respective pedigrees, and both trainers know where the winners enclosure is at Gosforth Park. However, CASEY JONES has already visited that very same winners enclosure earlier this month when a most impressive 1½L debut scorer. Penalised today, he has slightly more on his plate, but he really got his act together inside the final two furlongs that evening, and was never stronger than at the finish under a fine ride from Kieran O'Neill, and he should relish this step up in trip. He is the standout form pick of those with racecourse experience, and it'll take a very useful newcomer to lower his colours.
