Forecasts

Indian Springs (1/4), Grey Jaguar (13/2), Moderna (9/1), Twilight Ice (12/1), Token Love (18/1), Noss Mayo (40/1)

INDIAN SPRINGS hasn't been seen out since landing a useful maiden (form been franked) at Newmarket's Craven meeting but looked a good prospect there and is taken to return in style having been gelded. James Tate's debutant Grey Jaguar appeals on paper and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Moderna.
