Forecasts

Mobilise (4/1), Prove It (6/1), Chiketto (13/2), Rochester Mike (13/2), Drop The Dip (8/1), Malacanne (9/1), Lady Christa (9/1), Hasten Slowly (12/1), Miami Thunder (14/1), Free Flow (20/1), Katonah (22/1), He Knows When (22/1), Queen Mab (25/1), Law Lady (25/1), Get Set Jet (28/1)

CHIKETTO shaped encouragingly in a 5f maiden at Cork a couple of months ago and, back up in trip with a hood fitted, he appeals as a likely improver on his first handicap outing. Miami Thunder fits a similar mould and is worth monitoring in the betting, while Mobilise is an obvious player on the back of an excellent third over C&D.
