Forecasts

Sam Sarphati (9/4), Red Force One (11/4), Louisiana Bay (6/1), Michael's Pledge (13/2), Carlton (9/1), Visitant (14/1), Victoriano (16/1), Storm Spirit (20/1), Odd Venture (22/1), Major Snugfit (25/1)

SAM SARPHATI led home some in-form rivals when opening his account at Pontefract recently and, given his low-mileage profile, a 3 -lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up in a race containting plenty of dead wood. Red Force One isn't anywhere near the force of old but is still respected as a last-time-out scorer, while Carlton might be the one to fill the place providing his stamina holds out (unproven beyond 12.5f).
