Forecasts

King's School (11/4), Thunder Roar (7/2), Lir Speciale (5/1), Golden Strike (6/1), On The River (13/2), Irish Nectar (11/1), Intrusively (12/1), Bridget's View (14/1), We Dare To Dream (28/1), Beauty Choice (40/1), Raatea (50/1), Bowood (100/1)

Verdict

This looks wide open. BEAUTY CHOICE did well to overcome traffic problems when going in at Redcar recently and is taken to defy a 3 lb higher mark at the chief expense of Golden Strike who bids for a fourth victory of 2026 on the back of his latest York success. Last year's victor Lir Speciale can also have a big say too if shrugging off a lesser effort here last time. King's School completes the shortlist.
