Forecasts

Dark Street (3/1), Hasten Slowly (4/1), Barretstown (4/1), Hi Sur Multi (5/1), Doctor Grace (5/1), Picpoul (10/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (11/1), Relevant Range (12/1), Highland King (14/1), Mads Black Eights (14/1), Victory Star (14/1), Arctic Blaze (16/1), Spirit Of Paradise (40/1), Doctor Nightingale (40/1), Indigo Desert (66/1), Curley Rose (80/1), San Martino (125/1)

Having scored here in January, DARK STREET shaped as if still in top form when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago, so he's worth siding with in the hope that the pace is sound. Barretstown and Doctor Grace are the chief dangers.
