Forecasts

Mantoog (11/8), Truthful (10/3), La Isla Mujeres (9/2), Tarraff (9/1), Malka (14/1), Surrey Belle (16/1), Cienfuegos (16/1), High Fashion (16/1), Prosecco (18/1), Elladonna (33/1), Sea Of Elegance (50/1), Mrs Twig (125/1)

MANTOOG made a very pleasing start when runner-up in a novice at Kempton in November and with winners coming out of the race, the form looks reasonable. She seems sure to progress so makes just about the most appeal, acknowledging the good bunch of newcomers in opposition, notably Truthful and the Sir Michael Stoute-pair Cienfuegos and High Fashion.
