Forecasts

Jaafel (13/8), Macadam's Rock (11/4), Elzaam Blue (5/1), Gold Wing (11/2), Greek Opera (14/1), Search For Thestar (16/1), Cristal Clere (20/1), Karayaz (22/1), Laurens Company (28/1), Is That So (50/1), Anorak (80/1), Cula Bula Mamool (150/1), Lily Bianca (200/1), Ballykeeran (200/1)

JAAFEL made a positive start for his new stable when second at this track (10.7f) 14 days ago and probably won't need to improve on that showing to get off the mark back down in trip. Gold Wing and Macadam's Rock aren't significantly inferior to the selection in terms of form, but they're both more exposed.
