Forecasts

Cityman (9/4), Major Reward (3/1), Will Be King (6/1), Harriet's Force (7/1), Nonstop Talker (8/1), Vhagar (9/1), Tallien (9/1), Jungle Jungle (12/1), Pulsing Dragon (14/1), Dare To Flare (25/1), Tails I Win (25/1), Confucius (25/1), Winiata (33/1), Sister Slade (66/1), Red Bloodedcruiser (100/1)

The Andrew Slattery-trained CITYMAN caught the eye here last week finishing second of 14 beaten a little over 1L over 6f and can get off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking here. Will Be King beaten 2½L at Bellewstown last month deserves respect, while Pulsing Dragon and Vhagar are more than capable of hitting the frame.
