Forecasts

Naval Light (2/5), Stoneacre Joe (7/2), Viper (4/1), Lady Vega (15/2), King's Road Dandy (8/1), Star With Purpose (22/1), Leelawadee (40/1), Lineofsuccession (50/1), Tommie's Angel (50/1)

Standard-setter NAVAL LIGHT is given another chance to open his account with a 5-Ib claimer in the saddle. Stoneacre Joe and King's Road Dandy look the best of the rest in that order, with Viper also in the hunt for minor honours.
