Forecasts

Major Gatsby (9/4), Night Traveller (9/4), Sun Emperor (6/1), Atlantic Heart (7/1), Damascus Finish (10/1), Dazzerling (14/1), My Boy Jack (18/1), Edinson Kevani (25/1)

MAJOR GATSBY went down only to a well-treated one on turf at Lingfield last time and can resume winning ways. The Laura Mongan stable has found form in recent weeks so last-time-out C&D runner-up Dazzerling is feared most ahead of Night Traveller, who has her first outing for Tony Carroll here.
