Forecasts

Majalaat (5/2), Regal Mirage (7/2), Where's Jeff (9/2), Puckle (9/2), Just Hiss (9/1), Zihaam (14/1), Music Seeker (16/1), Ventura Gold (20/1)

A winner at Pontefract in April, MAJALAAT ran right up to his best when runner-up on yard debut at Haydock 12 days ago and a repeat should see him in the mix again partnered by his 5 lb claimer. Regal Mirage and Puckle are just a couple of others to consider in an open-looking handicap.
