Forecasts

Solution (3/1), Arcadian Friend (4/1), Bodygroove (13/2), Bunker Bay (8/1), Sharp Distinction (10/1), Two Past Eight (11/1), Sophar Sogood (14/1), Hedonista (14/1), Devizes (14/1), Ship To Shore (14/1), Arabescato (25/1), Come Musica (28/1), Masterdream (33/1)

ARCADIAN FRIEND was an emphatic winner at Chelmsford 6 days ago and he can defy a penalty with the return to this longer distance to suit. Sir Mark Prescott's 4-y-o is taken to get the better of the in-form Bunker Bay, while Solution remains with potential upped significantly in trip.
