Forecasts

Kentucky River (13/8), Cosmic Soul (10/3), Carlton (7/2), Merrijig (4/1), Red Force One (5/1), Al Sayah (7/1)

A trappy staying contest that can go the way of KENTUCKY RIVER, who predictably seemed at home upped to 2m for the first time when finding only a progressive 3-y-o (that has won again since) too strong at Doncaster last month. Ollie Sangster's charge can get the better of Carlton, who ran well at Yarmouth recently and could have more to offer upped in trip. Cosmic Soul rounds off the shortlist.
