Forecasts

Whatacracker (7/2), Showyoutheropes (9/2), Sonic Pioneer (5/1), Into Combat (11/2), Freddy Robinson (6/1), Masekela (6/1), San Munoz (7/1), Bay Dream Believer (17/2), Star Start (10/1), Dandy's Angel (11/1), Powerful Response (12/1), Dr Rio (16/1), Prince Achille (25/1), Red Trail (50/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but Tim Easterby's MASEKELA signalled he is ready to end a long losing sequence when runner-up at Ripon last time and can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark. Sonic Pioneer heads the list of dangers on the back of a very good Carlisle second, although handicap debutant Into Combat and in-form duo Dr Rio and Showyoutheropes command lots of respect too.
