Forecasts

Luminous Light (5/4), Artaois (3/1), Spacer (3/1), Red Power (10/1), Adjourn (14/1)

An interesting novice, with SPACER just about the most persuasive option. He's bred to be a sprinter, but certainly wasn't stopping when landing a 7f contest at Haydock a month ago. Luminous Light has the inside stall and will doubtless attempt to dominate things from the start, so he has to be feared.
