Forecasts

Quiet Evening (11/10), Turquoise Kingdom (4/1), Galactic Glow (11/2), Iris Bud (13/2), Theoule (11/1), Wait For The Lord (16/1), Going Underground (22/1), Tenfold (66/1), Maid Of Camelot (300/1)

GALACTIC GLOW wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford last time and, if he's able to get back to the sort of form he was showing in turf handicaps prior to that, he'll prove hard to stop in his bid to belatedly get off the mark. Turqoise Kingdom remains with potential, so he also warrants respect along with Wait For The Lord.
