Forecasts

Spot Lite (2/1), Elliot The Dragon (11/4), Swift Fox (5/1), Mother of Dragons (8/1), Cavendish Place (12/1), Littlelordconford (12/1), Alaskan Bay (14/1), Mocead Cappall (25/1), Cruel Clever Cat (25/1), Go Sandy (25/1), Squirrelheed (33/1)

SPOT LITE can register back-to-back victories by taking the concluding race on the card. The selection is likely to race close to the pace and that should suit given the way this contest is likely to be run. Swift Fox should appreciate the return to this trip and he can claim second ahead of Elliot The Dragon who put in a career best effort when fourth last time out. top weight Alaskan Bay is another to note on her first start of the season.
