Forecasts

Monsoon Moon (6/5), Love Is You (3/1), Last Sunset (4/1), Good And Proper (13/2), Showtime Dancer (12/1), Fragrant Storm (28/1), Naflah (50/1)

Cases can be made for several in here, but preference is for MONSOON MOON. John Gosden's newcomer is extremely well bred, being a half-sister to the unbeaten St Leger winner Logician, and she can make a winning debut for leading connections. Last Sunset sets the standard with her Kmepton win in July but may have to settle for second here, ahead of Good And Proper.
