Forecasts

Late Arrival (6/5), Redemptive (11/2), Spanish Star (10/1), My Friend Stan (11/1), One Step Beyond (11/1), Latent Heat (14/1), Danecase (14/1), Old News (14/1), Thechildren'strust (16/1), Johnny Reb (18/1), Rock Icon (22/1)

LATE ARRIVAL showed much improved form when runner-up at Lingfield a fortnight ago, seeming well suited by the drop in trip under an enterprising ride. He's bred to be useful, and can get off the mark with Oisin Murphy booked to ride. Redemptive heads up the list of dangers after a couple of placed efforts this year, ahead of One Step Beyond, who was much sharper from his reappearance last time.
