Forecasts

Waterloo Sunset (2/1), Hashtagmetoo (6/1), Mrs Twig (15/2), Sea Of Charm (15/2), Starfighter (8/1), This Ones For Fred (8/1), Paradise Row (10/1), Buxted Reel (11/1), Ezmerellda (14/1), The Bay Warrior (14/1), Corsican Caper (14/1), Alghazaal (100/1)

STARFIGHTER comfortably capitalised on a much-reduced mark when going in over C&D last time out so looks the way go despite taking a 5 lb rise. Sea Of Charm followed Mark Loughnane's 7-y-o home that day and can again claim second spot ahead of Hashtagmetoo and Waterloo Sunset.
