Forecasts

Moon Over The Sea (11/4), Bay Of Naples (7/2), Khangai (4/1), Alvesta (5/1), Forest Spirit (7/1), Corsican Caper (12/1), Oyamal (20/1), Hannasboy (20/1)

MOON OVER THE SEA looks the way to go nudged up just 1 lb for his good C&D second last time out when set too much to do. C&D scorer Bay of Naples rates the main threat ahead of recent scorer Khangai and Alvesta.
