Forecasts

Capla Lazarus (2/1), Steps In Time (2/1), Waiting For Love (5/2), Masterofgreygoose (13/2), Media Mogul (10/1), Sedbury (18/1), Mr Grimes (18/1), Iflookscouldkill (50/1), Mybad (66/1), Mostly Mozart (125/1), Stoneacre (125/1)

Having been well backed, WAITING FOR LOVE was no match for an established rival on debut at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago but it was still a promising effort and, up in trip, she's expected to build on that. Steps In Time and Capla Lazarus may emerge as the chief threats.
