Forecasts

Park Street (11/4), Al Muqdad (3/1), On The River (7/2), Garden Oasis (13/2), Signcastle City (7/1), Scottish Summit (9/1), Eagle Day (22/1), William Dewhirst (50/1), Retraction (66/1)

PARK STREET turned in best effort of the season when a close second at Redcar last week and holds obvious claims off the same mark. The thriving Al Muqdad and course-specialist Garden Oasis head the dangers.
