Forecasts

Leader In The Park (10/11), Walk On Quest (11/4), Hashtag Boum (7/1), Menaggio (17/2), Step Out (9/1)

LEADER IN THE PARK was value for more than the bare margin implies when taking his chase record to 2-3 at Warwick 6 weeks ago and, with further progress in the offing, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick with his trainer/jockey combination continuing in scintillating form. Walk On Quest is similarly most progressive and comfortably rates the chief threat in search of the 4-timer. Menaggio may do best of the other trio.
