Forecasts

Kestrel Valley (6/5), Born At Midnight (5/1), Voice Of Hope (8/1), Paseo (17/2), Furkash (10/1), Jigginstown King (10/1), Gibberwell (10/1), Emorelle (12/1), Earcomesbob (12/1), School For Scandal (25/1), Old Page (28/1), Son Of Oz (66/1)

KESTREL VALLEY remains well weighted after a 6 lb rise for her easy Ludlow win and can make it 2-2 for Kerry Lee. Old rival Born At Midnight is unlikely to be far away again, while Jigginstown King and Emorelle are a couple of others to keep an eye on.
