Forecasts

Mod (5/2), Hallstatt (4/1), Azam (5/1), Tristram (6/1), Majrooh (6/1), Our Cilla (8/1), Southfields (12/1), Arabian Oasis (16/1), Up Ten Down Two (20/1)

MAJROOH can make a winning return to turf in this 1m6f handicap contest. The selection ran well on his first start over this trip at Wolverhampton last time out and can see off handicap debutant Mod who is returning from an absence while Tristram, who showed promise at Thirsk on seasonal debut can claim third.
