Forecasts

Starford (6/5), Coulstys Way (5/1), Flying Fortress (5/1), Elusive Duke (11/2), Kevin The Great (12/1), Palmezzano (14/1), Electric Beauty (25/1), Tracker Issue (28/1), William F Browne (40/1), Expert Analysis (50/1)

COULSTYS WAY has been progressive since stepped up in trip this season and the way he won here 6 weeks ago suggests he can defy an 8 lb rise. Flying Fortress and Starford head the dangers.
