Forecasts

May Night (5/6), Woke Media (4/1), Dajraan (11/2), Fae The Port (15/2), Maximum Risk (14/1), Fircombe Hall (25/1), Storm Dreamer (50/1)

MAY NIGHT could well be ahead of the handicapper under his penalty and should take all the beating. He was impressive at Kempton last week and his sire has a good record on this surface so he's hard to oppose. Woke Media is proven here and she may be the main danger. Fae The Port is another worth consideration.
