Forecasts

The Mad Monk (3/1), Crystal Dawn (10/3), Damascus Finish (5/1), Monaadhil (7/1), Manettino (9/1), Prophecy (12/1), Porterinthejungle (14/1), Glencoe Boy (16/1), Khurumbi (22/1), Photo Bomb (28/1), Kaswarah (40/1), Miss Fernanda (40/1), Pivoting (40/1), Ivy Rosie (125/1)

A host in with chances but THE MAD MONK continues to edge down the weights and, with talented claimer Taylor Fisher taking a further 7 lb off his back, he gets the tentative nod. Prophecy heads up the dangers back on a synthetic surface, while Porterinthejungle and Glencoe Boy are another couple fancied to be in the mix too.
