Forecasts

King's School (5/2), Barnaby (10/3), Novak (13/2), Crown's Lady (7/1), No Nay Nicki (8/1), Profit Street (12/1), Paris Lights (14/1), Streak Lightning (14/1), Yorkstone (25/1), Likeashadow (25/1), The Ganges (33/1)

CROWN'S LADY is on the up and showed a good attitude to see off Novak last time, so she's fancied to see off that rival again. King's School also makes plenty of appeal in what could be a strong race for the grade.
