Forecasts

Time Tested (10/11), Marayel (9/2), Letter Of The Law (5/1), Romanovich (5/1), Walk The Moon (11/1), Long Call (12/1), Temur Khan (12/1), Lucky Question (14/1), Kilcummin (28/1)

This is a marked step up in trip for TIME TESTED but he's bred to stay it and stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up on the back of last week's Yarmouth success. Marayel is the obvious danger if coping with the quick turnaround after Lingfield on Monday.
