Forecasts

Midnight Centurion (9/4), Midnight Ginger (11/4), Eaton Collina (9/2), Minnie Escape (9/2), Iron Heart (6/1), Heure De Gloire (6/1), Fortunedefortunata (6/1), Furkash (13/2), Zestful Hope (17/2)

EATON COLLINA had shown promise when in the frame on his first 3 outings of the campaign before improving to get off the mark at Hereford in February. He can be forgiven his latest run and is taken to resume his progress. Midnight Centurion also makes appeal on his handicap debut.
