Forecasts

Apache Star (5/4), Calin's Lad (11/8), Water Of Leith (5/2), Scale Force (3/1), Tributo (13/2)

This looks tricky but CALIN'S LAD arrives in form and looks the safest option if his response to pressure is improved from last time. A return to form from Tributo would put him right in the mix on his first start for a new stable.
