Forecasts

Navid (7/4), Babylon (4/1), Connie Moon (4/1), Arcturus Flame (11/2), Komodo Island (6/1), Patsy Snugfit (12/1), Arizona Rock (14/1), Nanny Park (18/1), Wootton Palace (20/1)

BABYLON found only another progressive sort too strong on his handicap debut at Yarmouth the previous month and can go one better with further improvement forthcoming. Komodo Island is very well bred and remains capable of better now venturing into handicap company, with Arcturus Flame also considered.
