Forecasts

Bust A Moon (11/8), Monticristo Boy (7/2), Auntie Jo (4/1), Trust Sergei (11/2), Master Zack (9/1), Wee Mary (9/1), Baby Rover (16/1), Watkins (25/1), Lilchita (50/1), Miss Campanella (100/1)

BUST A MOON made a promising start for David Evans when runner-up at Chelmsford City last week and can go one better off an unchanged mark. David O'Meara's Auntie Jo is feared most on the back of a good Newcastle fifth ahead of Monticristo Boy and Trust Sergei.
