Forecasts

Reve De Magritte (4/1), Agapanther (5/1), Moorgate (5/1), Baulac (8/1), Swiss Rowe (17/2), No News (10/1), Magicinthemaking (12/1), Time Patrol (14/1), Cabaret Show (14/1), Seas Of Elzaam (14/1), Ajrad (16/1), Indie Skies (22/1), Sisters In The Sky (25/1), Martini Lodge (40/1)

MOORGATE finally got off the mark at Lingfield last month and shaped well despite seeming to find the drop in trip against him when runner-up there last week, so gets the nod returned to 7f. Seas of Elzaam hasn't shown much in his last couple of runs but looks particularly interesting dropped in grade for a yard who know how to land a gamble, with Magicinthemaking also considered for the placings despite being drawn widest of all.
