Forecasts

Mugader (5/2), After Eight (3/1), Jennys Jack Daniel (9/2), Miss Messenger (11/2), Tarbaan (7/1), Kiss Kiss (8/1), Paolo Panini (11/1), Promotion (16/1), Diva Dancer (20/1), Faithhopeandglory (50/1), Hellavaheart (80/1), Highland Billy (150/1)

AFTER EIGHT shaped well behind a promising winner with experience at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and looks the way to go with improvement on the way. Kiss Kiss was an eye-catcher over C&D first time up last month and should progress. Mugader is an interesting newcomer for top connections.
