Forecasts

Malawi (11/8), Moktaffy (10/3), Baron Zee (7/2), Witham River (13/2), Gamigin (10/1), Elzaamsan (20/1), Alpine Sierra (28/1), Doctor Power (50/1), Oh So Hot (125/1)

BARON ZEE showed plenty when third at Naas first time out and, with improvement on the cards, he's worth chancing to open his account. There's a number of others that catch the eye, however, most notably Malawi and Witham River, both sons of Galileo representing top stables.
