Forecasts

Kansas City Star (4/5), What Path (2/1), Bellaney Lord (3/1), Banjaxed (8/1), Mister Bo (9/1), Walter Grey (14/1), Desertmore House (40/1), Sameoldstory (50/1), Lady Goliath (100/1), Emily B (100/1), Cheerful Chap (125/1)

Verdict

KANSAS CITY STAR has been picked up by a top yard since landing a point by a wide margin, so he's worth supporting in his bid to maintain his unbeaten record switched to Rules. What Path's yard has had a stranglehold on the bumper division this term, so he's one to take very seriously on debut, while Bellaney Lord is the clear pick of those with experience in this discipline.

  1. KANSAS CITY STAR (IRE)
  2. WHAT PATH (FR)
  3. BELLANEY LORD (IRE)
