Forecasts

Moonlit Stage (9/4), Bebside (4/1), Force Of Honour (4/1), Capricorn King (5/1), Corpus Juris (11/2), Gretna Dreams (14/1), Owt For Nowt (28/1), Sun Petal (28/1), Dark Rainbow (33/1), Hickton (50/1), Newton Lass (100/1)

FORCE OF HONOUR has shown improved form upped to 1m on his last 2 starts, opening his account at Redcar 8 days ago, and a penalty might not be enough to prevent him from scoring again. Moonlit Stage was suited by the longer distance when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and isn't taken lightly, with Gretna Dreams also considered.
