Forecasts

Charlatan (1/2), Cloch Nua (3/1), Venus Slipper (17/2), Mr Slicker (9/1), Mr Heinz (9/1), Calcutta Dream (12/1), Alyara (12/1), Kodebreaker (16/1), Arc Tesoro (20/1), Stoneacre (125/1)

CHARLATAN confirmed the promise of his previous run when recording a cosy success over this C&D on Tuesday and he looks the one to beat on these terms. Cloch Nua did well to score at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and is the obvious threat with Calcutta Dream best of the others.
