Forecasts

Al Salt (2/7), Machios (4/1), Prize Fighting (8/1), Stay Calm (16/1), Byford (18/1), Wightman (18/1), Hotcity (40/1), Bernard Spierpoint (66/1), Swiss Silk (125/1), Arlo's Sunshine (200/1), Billy The Squid (200/1)

AL SALT looks to be well above average and his Newcastle success last month has been franked by the runner-up. He should gain a second success here despite the penalty. Machios is next-best on form and retains scope for better, while Prize Fighting and Stay Calm appeal most of the newcomers.
