Forecasts

Mostallim (15/8), Muddy Lynn (5/2), Glorious Rio (15/2), Final Frontier (11/1), Nickleby (11/1), Dandys Derriere (16/1), Headabovetherest (18/1), Zegos Surprise (20/1), Noble Captain (22/1), Tathmeen (22/1), Liberty Breeze (25/1), Royal Mariner (33/1), Tees George (33/1), Aclaim To Fame (50/1)

MOSTALLIM bounced back to score in emphatic fashion at Chelmsford last time and, escaping the penalty, he should be able to comfortably follow up if in the same form. Nickleby goes well fresh and looks of interest after 4 months off, while Muddy Lynn should give her running again.
