Forecasts

Speriamo (9/4), Mont Champs (16/5), Land Of Summer (10/3), Mai Alward (11/2), Poppy Field (6/1), Hill Cove (16/1), Arlecchino's Star (25/1), Zara's Return (200/1), Stintino Sunset (250/1)

LAND OF SUMMER won in cosy fashion on debut at Brighton last month and can follow up under a penalty for a yard that consistently does well with similar types. Mont Champs ran well here last time and can pose the biggest threat, whilst Poppy Field and Speriamo are both likely improvers.
