Forecasts

Phoenix Aquilus (11/4), Beat The Breeze (11/4), Prince Abu (7/2), Deluxe Music (8/1), Neverbeen To Paris (17/2), Dreaming Blue (10/1), Mutarabby (11/1), Mukha Magic (12/1), Lleyton (12/1), Nataleena (50/1), Diaboleo (66/1), Kitten's Dream (80/1)

It could be worth chancing MUTARABBY, who wasn't seen to best effect for the second start running at Kempton and has been eased another 2 lb. Last-time-out winners Phoenix Aquilus and Prince Abu head the dangers.
