Forecasts

Cephalus (5/2), Eklil (5/1), State Control (5/1), Wheal Kitty (13/2), Bearcardi (9/1), Art Expert (10/1), Penna Rossa (10/1), Samurai Sneddz (16/1), Amjad (25/1), Down To The Kid (40/1), Timeless Touch (40/1), Beerenberg (40/1), Maggie's Joy (66/1)

Another competitive nursery in which EKLIL gets the nod. He ran well on handicap debut at Kempton last time and could improve again to go close here. Samurai Sneddz wasn't beaten far on handicap debut at Newcastle last time and he should be in the mix. Cephalus has to enter calculations too.
