Forecasts

Burning Sun (9/2), Hey Ho Let's Go (5/1), The Red Witch (5/1), Essaka (15/2), Sacred Legacy (8/1), Cool Strutter (10/1), It Must Be Faith (12/1), Kalimotxo (12/1), Mercers (12/1), Captain Ryan (16/1), Its All Clover Now (50/1), Little Floozie (80/1)

BURNING SUN was beaten only by more prominently-ridden rivals at Wolverhampton last week and looks capable of winning off this mark. Essaka should go well again with Tom Marquand taking over, while Hey Ho Let's Go is in better form than his latest run suggests.
