Forecasts

Mysterious Maestro (3/1), Musterion (10/3), The Pug (4/1), Zakram (11/2), She's A Mirage (17/2), All Inclusive (12/1), Timewaitsfornobody (14/1), Louaizeh (22/1), Craggy Range (33/1), Balmy Breese (66/1), Lady Bianca (100/1)

It's probably worth giving another chance to MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO, who has proved rather disappointing the last twice but a reproduction of his effort peak effort at Lingfield in June would put him firmly in the picture. Zakram hasn't made much of an impact on turf of late but may fare better now returned to the all-weather and he is feared most ahead of Musterion and She's A Mirage.
