Forecasts

Lunanera (6/1), Beylerbeyi (13/2), Dion Baker (13/2), Dreaming Spires (13/2), Zina Colada (13/2), Charlatan (9/1), Lunario (10/1), Anglo Saxson (10/1), Sycamore (10/1), Martini Nights (11/1), Big Narstie (20/1), Elusive Empire (50/1), Spanish Mane (66/1)

Having rattled off a hat-trick on the AW during the winter, CHARLATAN has been given a break and is fancied to pick up where he left off switched to turf. Martini Nights is a fascinating contender upped to 1m, with Dion Baker completing the shortlist.
