Forecasts

Candyman Stan (13/8), Carnival Day (4/1), Pyrotechnic (9/2), Annexation (6/1), Hamlet's Night (10/1), Lexington Knight (10/1), Early Morning Dew (12/1), Macari (14/1)

Quite an interesting handicap with CARNIVAL DAY given the vote. He was an easy winner on his first visit here last summer and could have more to offer over this sort of trip this season, while plenty from his yard have run well first time out. Macari won over hurdles last week and was progressive on the level in the autumn so he's next on the list, ahead of Candyman Stan.
