Forecasts

Be Fair (2/1), Claddaghduff (3/1), Stranger Things (9/2), Kingston Joy (6/1), Fighting Poet (7/1), Beebee (16/1), Uther Pendragon (18/1), Last Roar (125/1)

STRANGER THINGS looked well worth another try at 1m4f when staying on for third at Kempton last time and she can open her account on only her second attempt at this trip. The 5-y-o can get the better of last week's C&D winner Be Fair, while Kingston Joy is a pontential improver on her handicap debut.
