Forecasts

Son Of Red (5/4), Mr Carbonator (3/1), Sea Of Shadows (5/1), Grand Pianola (13/2), Wally's Wisdom (14/1), Optima Petamus (16/1), Miss Sligo (22/1), Quoteline Direct (28/1), Arabian Oasis (66/1), Tingo In The Tale (125/1)

MR CARBONATOR is as low in the weights as he's ever been and can end the drought soon, perhaps now if turned out again quickly after his run on Tuesday. Son of Red and Sea of Shadows both arrive in good order and could lay down a challenge if taking to fibresand at the first attempt.
