Forecasts

The Blue Panther (10/11), Laws Of Indices (3/1), Street Kid (7/1), Vafortino (11/1), Thebeaujolaispope (16/1), Evergreen And Red (25/1), King Wasp (33/1), Stop On Red (40/1)

THE BLUE PANTHER was doing his best work at the finish behind subsequent Windsor Castle fifth Chief Little Hawk on his return here over 5f earlier in the month. With improvement come and this extra furlong favourable; Gary Carroll's mount can likely go one better now. Laws Of Indices should also improve from debut while Vafortino, Street Kid and Thebeaujolaispope are newcomers of some note.
