Forecasts

I'm Always Trying (10/11), Mahlermade (6/1), Al Co (15/2), Kiwayu (8/1), Timeforben (9/1), Travertine (12/1), Lady Markby (12/1), Masterson (20/1), Our Folly (25/1), Forecast (40/1)

The step up in distance looks likely to suit MAHLERMADE and he is taken to register his first career success following a good effort over shorter here last time. The selection hails from a good yard and can take this at the chief expense of I'm Always Trying, a winner on his first start for this yard last month. Irish raider Masterson represents a top stable and he is taken to finish third.
