Forecasts

Desert Emperor (10/11), Dreaming Blue (11/2), Seagulls Nest (13/2), Elmejor (9/1), Monsaraz (9/1), Major Snugfit (12/1), Inn The Bull (18/1), Samille (33/1), Kells (66/1)

SEAGULLS NEST is an interesting runner for new connections (has some eye-catching AW form) and could be well handicapped. Desert Emperor arrives in top form and remains of interest, along with the thriving Major Snugfit.
