Forecasts

Mulzim (7/4), Samovar (16/5), Ustath (10/3), Lorna Cole (7/1), Duke Of Firenze (9/1), Poyle Vinnie (10/1), Red Stripes (14/1)

MULZIM was all the better for his reappearance when gaining a third C&D win 12 days ago and a 4 lb penalty ought not to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Samovar is weighted to finish closer to the selection this time, with Ustath another to consider back in trip.
