Forecasts

Meqdam (3/1), Lady Snazz (3/1), Gundogdu (9/2), Immortalised (8/1), Philosopher (9/1), Jaaref (9/1), Welsh Lord (20/1), Blue Sovereign (20/1), Glorious Poet (25/1), R One (25/1), Sea Skimmer (33/1)

LADY SNAZZ showed much improved form to get off the mark last time and just gets the nod in a tricky finale. Meqdam looks the safest option for second, while Immortalised is perhaps the most interesting of the remainder.
