Forecasts

Aljady (10/3), Gobi Star (5/1), Tai Sing Yeh (13/2), Tommy Taylor (13/2), Scarlet Dancer (7/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (8/1), Inflection Point (9/1), Majestic Colt (11/1), Eglish (16/1), Sunday Sovereign (16/1), My Little Tip (33/1), Just Another (33/1), Shabaaby (50/1), Monitor (200/1), Maid Merrion (250/1)

ALJADY made a pleasing start for Denis Hogan after a long time off at the Curragh recently and seems sure to go well if building on that dropped to a claimer now. James McAuley's new recruits My Little Tip and Sunday Sovereign were both showing fairly useful form in Britain this summer and may improve for a change of scenery.
