Forecasts

Light Up The Dark (13/8), First Ascent (5/2), Stariam (9/2), Arctic Bresil (15/2), Astelia (8/1), Colpe Cross (8/1), Boxing Great (11/1)

FIRST ASCENT has improved with each of his three runs and can build on his recent very good second here and get off the mark. Stariam has the form to play a big part but could have to settle for minor honours once more ahead of Astelia and Light Up The Dark.
