Forecasts

So Grateful (6/4), Impressor (2/1), King Of Tonga (11/4), Newyorkstateofmind (15/2), Prospect (9/1), The Dunkirk Lads (9/1), Rambuso Creek (10/1), Van Gerwen (20/1), Elzaal (20/1)

A few with chances but KING OF TONGA showed the benefit of breathing surgery when a recent second at Beverley and can go one better off the same mark with that form having been franked. Impressor is enjoying an excellent season and poses a big threat to Declan Carroll's former C&D scorer however. Newyorkstateofmind and So Grateful need factoring in too in a competitive sprint.
