Forecasts

Masqool (6/4), Masham Moor (4/1), Shyjack (15/2), Inexplicable (8/1), Tie A Yellowribbon (9/1), Daany (9/1), Love Your Work (12/1), Makambe (16/1), You Missed Her (20/1), Cashel (25/1), Il Pescatore (40/1), The Nail Gunner (40/1), Fliss Floss (66/1), Forbearing (100/1)

On the back of a very eye-catching performance over C&D last month, MASQOOL justified strong support back here last week and, as a lightly-raced 4-y-o with a good pedigree, further success beckons. Masham Moor was also a decisive winner last time and enters calculations, along with Love Your Work starting out for Rebecca Menzies.
