Forecasts

The Lamplighter (4/1), Politics (5/1), Enduring (5/1), Muscika (6/1), One Hart (17/2), Phoenix Star (9/1), Ramiro (9/1), Temple Bruer (10/1), The Cruising Lord (11/1), Inevitable Outcome (16/1), Red Walls (18/1), El Hombre (20/1), I Am A Dreamer (28/1)

THE LAMPLIGHTER went down by the narrowest of margins over C&D last time and is weighted to go close nudged up just 1 lb so gets the nod in an open handicap. Phoenix Star also arrives on the back of a good Newcastle second and is next on the list, with Red Walls and Muscika both highly respected too.
