Forecasts

City Streak (9/4), Box To Box (7/2), Bolster (7/2), Dream Harder (4/1), Botanical (9/2), Parlando (5/1), Killybegs Warrior (5/1), Woodstock City (28/1), Wadacre Gomez (28/1)

BOLSTER and Botanical are low-mileage 4-y-os with the scope to rate quite a bit higher this year. Separating them isn't easy but Bolster has the benefit of a recent run (emphatic Pontefract success) so is marginally preferred. Of the rest, City Streak won here a year ago and a bold bid looks on the cards.
