Forecasts

Arnold (5/4), Pearl Of Qatar (7/2), Calin's Lad (5/1), Refuge (14/1), Star Citizen (16/1), Summer Heights (20/1), Nellie French (20/1), Hurstwood (25/1), Gorgeous General (25/1), Mukhadram Way (28/1), Holloa (28/1), Lucky Beggar (33/1), Billy Dylan (50/1)

ARNOLD arrives on the back of solid second over C&D 5 days ago and, from the same mark, looks sure to make his presence felt again in a race where a number have something to prove. Star Citizen, Pearl of Qatar and Mukhadram Way head up the dangers.
