Forecasts

Darkzideofthemoon (15/8), Sea Of Charm (4/1), Sassy Glory (4/1), Forest Spirit (6/1), Bay Of Naples (11/1), Lost In Time (11/1), Catrake Force (18/1), Namrud (33/1)

FOREST SPIRIT is bred to be well suited by the step up in distance and, in theory, should be much better than an opening mark of 57 so, for all that she's not shown a great deal to this point, she's worth chancing to get the better of Darkzideofthemoon, who arrives on the back of an excellent second at Kempton. Sassy Glory also makes the shortlist.
