Forecasts

Moraaheq (11/10), No Recollection (15/8), Babajan (15/2), Henrik (15/2), Majestic Tejaan (18/1)

MORAAHEQ had something in hand when off the mark at the third time of asking in a maiden at Kempton 24 days ago and, with the form having already received a boost from the third, he looks potentially well- in from an opening mark of 80. He's the clear choice ahead of No Recollection, with Babajan not completely dismissed.
