Forecasts

Night Moment (6/4), Arsonist (4/1), Spirit Of Iffraaj (11/2), Desert Marathon (7/1), Marselan (11/1), River Wharfe (12/1), Always Dreaming (16/1), Sharsted (25/1)

NIGHT MOMENT failed to beat a rival in nurseries but is potentially well treated given how the form of his Lingfield win has worked out, so he is worth another chance on return. Arsonist has a similar profile to the selection and is another to consider along with Spirit of Iffraaj.
