Forecasts

Selected (9/4), Kool Moe Dee (4/1), Harmony Lil (6/1), Sir Benedict (6/1), Baileys Breathless (7/1), Northbound (15/2), Rhoda's Choice (16/1), Emerald Ensign (22/1), Pacopash (40/1)

Marginal preference in a very open nursery is for KOOL MOE DEE who clocked a good time when scoring at Bath on his nursery bow and is taken to complete a quick hat-trick. Selected arrives on the back of a good second here so heads the list of dangers for the in-form Richard Fahey yard, although Baileys Breathless and Rhoda's Choice are two others who are worth a second look.
