Forecasts

Luscifer (3/1), Mashaan (10/3), Hector Loza (11/2), Always Dreaming (6/1), Critical Thinking (7/1), Northern Charm (12/1), Mabre (12/1), Madrinho (14/1), The Retriever (16/1), Win Win Power (20/1), Fliss Floss (22/1), Vocal Ring (50/1)

LUSCIFER has posted two good runner-up efforts here since joining Ron Harris and can get his head back in front now. Mashaan rates a threat on the back of a good run at Lingfield at the start of the month, while Hollie Doyle has a 2-2 record on Madrinho in 2021 so it's interesting that she's back in the saddle on him.
