Forecasts

Spanish Star (9/2), Rasheeq (6/1), Michaels Choice (7/1), Desert Land (8/1), Pastfact (17/2), Saras Hope (17/2), Under Curfew (10/1), Gleeds Girl (11/1), Secret Potion (12/1), Bring The Money (12/1), Shoot The Moon (14/1), Big Lachie (18/1), Alba Del Sole (22/1), Charlemaine (25/1), Firenze Rosa (25/1), Essaka (28/1), Trotter (40/1)

The Patrick Chamings team has found a rich vein of form all of a sudden and a 5 lb penalty may not prevent last week's clear-cut Leicester winner SPANISH STAR going in again. Three-time C&D winner Pastfact can add to his string of good efforts this term and heads the dangers along with Rasheeq, who like the selection, ran well at Leicester last week.
