Forecasts

Mogwai (11/2), Midsummer Dance (6/1), Measured Moments (6/1), Valkyrian (13/2), Hey Lyla (7/1), Rosa Chinensis (15/2), Lethal Touch (17/2), Gold As Glass (11/1), Moogie (14/1), Sapristi (16/1), Evening Story (18/1), Ellexis (33/1), Mountain Flower (33/1)

VALKYRIAN ran out an impressive winner at Leicester 10 days ago so has obvious claims under a penalty if in similar form. Measured Moments is having an excellent season so must be respected, with hat-trick seeking Lethal Touch another to consider.
