Forecasts

Bond Power (4/1), Ramon Di Loria (9/2), Robasta (5/1), Al Ameen (15/2), Majeski Man (17/2), Glorious Rio (11/1), Politics (12/1), Danielsflyer (18/1), Verreaux Eagle (18/1), Mythical Molly (18/1), Twilight Secret (22/1), Sydney Bay (28/1), Bellagio Man (28/1), Mews House (40/1)

MAJESKI MAN has shaped well when runner-up 3 times from only 4 starts for new trainer Paul Midgley and may be able to get his head back in front now. The main threat may come from 3-y-os, with the largely consistent Al Ameen taken to bounce straight back from a lesser run last time and fill the forecast spot ahead of recent Redcar third Mythical Molly.
