Forecasts

Arcade Attraction (15/8), Miss Harriett (3/1), Can You Believe It (7/2), Ten Past Midnight (11/2), Alfoski (13/2), Alderson (11/1), Keepscalling (12/1), Fitz Well (12/1), Southfield Torr (20/1), Sharp Reply (33/1)

ARCADE ATTRACTION has been in good form over fences this spring and can take advantage of a lower mark back hurdling for a trainer who does so well here. Can You Believe It ran a blinder on his reappearance last season so he's put up as the main danger back from 7 months off. Last month's Chepstow third Miss Harriett may prove best of the remainder.
