Forecasts

Be Proud (4/1), Autumn Flight (5/1), Sound Of Iona (6/1), Lyons Lane (13/2), Pavers Pride (13/2), Victory Angel (13/2), Primo's Comet (7/1), Mid Winster (8/1), Quanah (10/1), Afandem (16/1), Stars In The Night (16/1), Modular Magic (22/1), Ventura Flame (33/1)

A competitive sprint for the grade but BE PROUD caught the eye at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and looks ready to strike having already gone close here this season. Mid Winster, who made a positive start for this yard when a close fourth behind Sound of Iona and Primo's Comet at Doncaster last week, could be the main threat.
