Forecasts

Alhaajeb (5/2), Secret Haunt (3/1), Sim Card (10/3), Woke Media (6/1), Spirituoso (6/1), El Monte (16/1), Heatherdown Matron (25/1)

SPIRITUOSO is more exposed than a couple in here but she has some decent form to her name and was only just denied over C&D back in March. She may be able to gain a first career success. Sim Card disappointed when upped in trip at Yarmouth last time and he should appreciate the drop back to a mile. Alhaajeb is unexposed and can't be ruled out.
