Forecasts

Kraka (5/4), Tawaafoq (6/4), Avenue Of Stars (13/8), Northern Queen (9/2), Krazy Paving (11/2), Valley Belle (11/1), Holy Tiber (12/1), Dreamboat Annie (20/1), Peggotty (25/1)

Verdict

The manner of the win by Avenue Of Stars last time out suggests he needs taking very seriously under a 4lb penalty here, but his best turf form is on ground softer than forecast, so we prefer the proven fast ground performer NORTHERN QUEEN, who is forgiven her latest effort in the hope that cheekpieces galvanise her to bounce back. Krazy Paving is on a handy mark but also has a bit to prove on fast ground, while Tawaafoq and Kraka are others worth considering.
