Forecasts

The Caltonian (11/4), Night On Earth (7/2), Pepsi Cat (5/1), Treacherous (13/2), Zuffolo (10/1), Wasdale (10/1), So Grateful (11/1), Leodis Dream (16/1), Ballyare (22/1), New Hope Bullet (50/1), Captain's Bar (50/1), Whisky McGonagall (66/1)

NIGHT ON EARTH did well to finish third at Chelmsford last time given the strong pace he set so could be ready to take advantage of a career-low mark. Pepsi Cat and Treacherous head the dangers.
