Forecasts

Tea Sea (7/2), Overnight Oats (7/2), Straight A (9/2), Paradoxical (11/2), Calanthe (10/1), Dawn Of Liberation (11/1), Berkshire Phantom (12/1), Ciotog (12/1), Charencey (12/1), Between Me And U (20/1), Caelan (22/1), Cosmos Raj (50/1)

OVERNIGHT OATS has been a serial winner for this yard and he remains on the upgrade judged on his stylish win at Southwell on Friday. He's likely to make another bold bid off a similar mark and is preferred to the thriving Tea Sea. Paradoxical may prove best of the others.
