Forecasts

C'est Different (5/2), Kingston Rock (7/2), Bishbashbosh (9/2), My Lady Elektra (11/2), Atlanticexpress (15/2), Always A Reason (8/1), Wee Alki (9/1), Gold Ring (18/1), Didntgotwenty (20/1), Catcha Flight (22/1), Derracrin (40/1), Fancy Nancy Pants (66/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and KINGSTON ROCK is taken to build on a good Newcastle fifth last time out to get off the mark. Always A Reason could emerge as the chief threat now handicapping, with in-form Irish raider Bishbashbosh also firmly in the picture. Wee Alki completes the shortlist.
