Forecasts

Streamsforth Lad (13/8), Subtle Fortune (7/1), Peckforton Hills (8/1), Black Occ (10/1), El Rojo Grande (10/1), Huckleberry Sting (12/1), Sandscape (12/1), Rockvale (12/1), Kapamazov (16/1), Atlanta Brave (20/1), Tory Hill (20/1), Siege Of Acres (25/1), Shuile Warrior (28/1), Harksman (40/1)

A market to keep a close eye on but STREAMSFORTH LAD has been knocking at the door and must have solid claims to open his account. Kapamazov may well do better on second start for Tony Carroll, with Siege Of Acres perhaps worth another chance in an open-looking handicap.
