Forecasts

Half Sovereign (11/10), Starlight Time (9/4), Monastry (7/2), Pearl River (4/1), Mayaada (15/2), Princess Honey Bee (12/1), Favourite Friend (28/1), Thanh Nam (33/1), Paroled (50/1)

MONASTRY finished ahead of a trio of next-time-out winners when a promising fourth starting out at Haydock a month ago and with improvement forthcoming, he could be the answer. Starlight Time was well on top at the line when successful at Epsom and is the obvious threat under a penalty, though Half Sovereign also commands respect.
