Forecasts

Union Island (11/10), The Spotlight Kid (11/4), Got No Dollars (6/1), Claxton Bay (8/1), Falcon Nine (10/1), Roscioli (11/1), Tancredi (40/1)

THE SPOTLIGHT KID lost little caste in defeat when third off this mark at Wolverhampton last month and he is taken to resume winning ways. If Falcon Nine returns to form he could be the one to follow the selection home, while Union Island arrives here in good form and is also shortlisted.
