Forecasts

Haymaker (4/1), Brave Nation (4/1), Badri (5/1), Venture Capital (8/1), Good Earth (8/1), Existent (9/1), Arecibo (11/1), Tees Spirit (12/1), Muker (18/1), Blind Beggar (25/1), Ready Freddie Go (40/1)

GOOD EARTH arrives in fine form and showed a fine attitude when scoring at Sandown last time. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive opener. Brave Nation and Venture Capital head the list of dangers.
