Forecasts

Arkenstaar (15/8), Black Friday (10/3), Vellner (4/1), Shine On Brendan (4/1), Lunacy (12/1), Man Of A'An (16/1), Epona Pas (25/1), Mrs Happy (50/1)

ARKENSTAAR has course form figures of 21111 and beat a subsequent winner here last time. He can go in again. Ayr-scorer Vellner is feared most ahead of Black Friday.
