Forecasts

Addis Ababa (5/4), Mulligatawny (7/2), Mooltazem (4/1), Mutamaded (8/1), Royal Regent (10/1), Ennjaaz (10/1), Gworn (20/1)

ADDIS ADABA should appreciate this return to 1m2f and the application of cheekpieces for the first time can see him register a victory in this seven runner handicap. The selection can get the better of Mulligatawny who ran well on soft ground at Chester on his most recent appearance while Royal Regent can build on his seasonal debut by finishing third.
