Forecasts

Caribbean Sunset (3/1), Abruzzo Mia (4/1), Kalganov (4/1), Kats Bob (6/1), Secret Road (6/1), Burning The Bails (7/1), Spartan Fighter (8/1), Danzart (12/1), Pembrokeshire (28/1), Sassoon (33/1), Spells At Dawn (50/1)

KATS BOB can race off a 4 lb lower mark than when a good recent Ayr second so looks the way to go. Secret Road is weighted to have a say if on his A-game so needs considering along with course winner.Caribbean Sunset.
