Forecasts

Never Dark (4/1), Little Muddy (11/2), Burj Malinka (7/1), Prospect (15/2), Yazaman (8/1), Triple Jaye (12/1), Refuge (14/1), Lady Celia (16/1), Sixcor (16/1), Latin Five (18/1), Lady Lade (25/1), Tanasoq (25/1), Eternal Halo (25/1), Hot Diggity Dog (28/1), Ustath (28/1), Bonito Cavalo (28/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (33/1), Gowanlad (33/1), The Gloaming (40/1), Burtonlodge Beauty (40/1), Kraken Power (40/1), Claim The Stars (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. NEVER DARK got back on track when runner-up at Doncaster and can take advantage of a 2 lb drop in the weights here to regain winning ways. Recent Hamilton scorer Burtonlodge Beauty is next on the list with Tanasoq and Burj Malinka in the picture too.
