Forecasts

True Hero (11/10), Stars In The Night (13/2), Arzaak (13/2), Wade's Magic (7/1), Pull Harder Con (17/2), Somewhere Secret (10/1), Quanah (16/1), Aleef (40/1)

TRUE HERO has been in fine form and has been rated higher than this in the past. He should be able to gain a third C&D success here. Arzaak is a regular at this venue and may make the frame. Wade's Magic has some hope of handling this surface on breeding and may be able to get involved in the finish.
