Forecasts

Mr Glass (8/13), Monbeg Genius (13/8), One For The Wall (5/1), Admirals Edge (18/1)

MR GLASS disappointed on his handicap bow at Wincanton but had excuses and is worth another chance back in a novice judged on his third in the Tolworth at Sandown. Monbeg Genius doesn't have much to find with the selection on these terms and will be suited by the step up in trip, so rates a big threat.
