Forecasts

Kayfast Warrior (7/2), Golden Claim (4/1), Mustazeed (4/1), Esticky End (13/2), Diamonds At Dusk (13/2), Little Gem (12/1), Lucy Rules (12/1), Kingdom Found (12/1), Tommy R (20/1), Got No Dollars (25/1), Yanifer (40/1), He Can Dance (50/1), Runway Queen (50/1)

It would be no surprise whatsoever were MUSTAZEED to take a big step forward now that his attention is turned to handicaps. Indeed, he has shown ability in a handful of qualifying runs and the hint should be taken if the market vibes are positive. Kayfast Warrior resumed with an improved C&D effort a fortnight ago (first run since being gelded) and is second choice ahead of Little Gem.
