Forecasts

Moonbootz (11/10), Mossbawn (7/2), Kumasi (4/1), Reaction Time (9/1), Little Downs (11/1), Calculus (16/1), Jungle Bells (50/1), Chelsea Showcase (100/1), Magic Girl (150/1)

KUMASI returned from a long absence with a creditable effort in a handicap at Newcastle earlier in the month. That was just his first start for this yard and there could be more to come. Moonbootz looks the biggest danger after two good runs at Wolverhampton. Mossbawn can't be discounted either.
