Forecasts

Mukha Magic (6/5), Caribeno (6/4), Little India (6/1), Berrahri (14/1), Royal Cosmic (18/1), Temur Khan (25/1), Pepper Street (80/1)

CARIBENO and Mukha Magic stand out. The former defied a 11 lb rise after 6 months off at Lingfield and appeals as the type to go on improving, so he edges the vote. Little India can also get competitive if she's in the mood.
