Forecasts

Mahato (10/11), Dancing Sapphire (9/2), Zip It Up (13/2), Twilight Truth (10/1), Gigastar (10/1), Believe It (12/1), Kalik (20/1), Family Matters (40/1), Treasure Bay (200/1), Rising From Embers (200/1), Titus Thor (200/1)

MAHATO has been off since he disappointed at Newcastle in November but he had looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Windsor so is worth another chance in a weak event. Zip It Up has a nice pedigree and is from a good stable, so may well emerge as the biggest threat on debut.
