Forecasts

Jacattack (2/1), Ancient Times (3/1), Shaykhoon (7/2), Barbaroma (10/1), Swooper (10/1), King'slove (10/1), Driftwood (14/1), Walter (33/1), A Pint Of Bear (40/1), Mops Gem (40/1), Drink Talking (40/1), Sovereign Moon (125/1), Arfinn Rose (150/1)

Not a particularly deep maiden and no worthwhile fibresand form to call upon, with SHAYKHOON, a promising third starting out at Lingfield in August, fancied to improve beyond Ancient Times and Jacattack.
