Forecasts

Pepsi Cat (16/5), One Night Stand (7/2), Wee Fat Mac (7/2), Nelson Gay (18/5), Ramon Di Loria (9/2), Twilight Fun (17/2), Secret Mistral (17/2), Yesterday's Hero (16/1), New Hope Bullet (16/1)

This looks a strong contest for the grade but ONE NIGHT STAND had loads in hand when scoring at Lingfield a week ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's capable of following up. Wee Fat Mac and Pepsi Cat are likely to go well again.
