Forecasts

Bythebay (5/2), Al Asef (10/3), Good Earth (7/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (13/2), Dana Forever (17/2), Tomshalfbrother (11/1), Glorious Charmer (16/1), Breaking Records (25/1), Inaam (40/1)

GOOD EARTH is in the form of his life and would be difficult to overlook if turned out again quickly following Monday's Brighton success. Sir Rodneyredblood and Bythebay are a couple of the interesting alternatives.
