Forecasts

Time And Money (3/1), Indignation (3/1), Moving Forward (4/1), Drakensberg (5/1), Royal Admiral (11/1), Galileo Dance (12/1), Punk Poet (12/1), Alabaster (14/1), Magi Gal (22/1), Wild Shot (25/1), Belted (50/1), North Street (50/1), Donate (50/1), Alhajjaj (66/1), My Giddy Aunt Rose (66/1)

TIME AND MONEY came clear with another improving 3-y-o when again finding only one too good over C&D 2 weeks ago. His mark has crept up further but he's clearly going the right way and can get off the mark here. Indignation is also of interest under Colin Keane, whilst Moving Forward and Galileo Dance complete the shortlist.
