Forecasts

Desert Land (5/2), Prince Rock (3/1), Poet's Magic (7/1), Merweb (11/1), Saucy Encore (11/1), Pour La Victoire (14/1), Middlescence (14/1), Sarayaat (16/1), Soyounique (20/1), Passing Nod (20/1), Bint Dandy (22/1), Fujaira King (22/1), De Little Engine (28/1), Porto Ferro (100/1)

DESERT LAND seems to enjoy it round here with a win over six furlongs and a very solid third here last week. He's chanced to get back in the winners enclosure this afternoon. Poet's Magic is in good form at the moment and can't be ruled out. Prince Rock also enjoys it round Lingfield but his wide draw tempers enthusiasm slightly.
