Forecasts

Cresta De Vega (1/1), Sundayinmay (4/1), Arcadian Nights (9/2), One Step Beyond (5/1), Marion's Boy (13/2), Roundabout Silver (16/1), Come To Pass (22/1), Millions Memories (25/1), Racing Country (28/1), Aryaah (50/1), Lafan (80/1)

MARION'S BOY is taken to record his fifth C&D win back down in class. Cresta de Vega went close in a novice here 7 weeks ago and remains with potential now handicapping, with the in-form Sundayinmay another to consider.
