Forecasts

Take A Stand (15/8), Shifter (16/5), Plastic Paddy (4/1), Cabinet Maker (5/1), Asraabb (5/1), The Mouse King (7/1), Beebee (66/1)

TAKE A STAND really caught the eye when fourth at Lingfield last month but wasn't seen to best effect when fifth here last time and is fancied to open his account off a handy-looking mark. C&D winner Shifter is next on the list ahead of Kempton scorer Cabinet Maker.
