Forecasts

Knight Of Magic (2/1), Sense Of Reason (10/3), Naughty Niall (5/1), Twilight Guest (5/1), Zafaan (7/1), Jazz Scene (11/1), Sunset In Paris (14/1), Muhib (14/1), Pending Appeal (25/1), Tilsworth Silver (100/1)

ZAFAAN displayed a willing attitude when landing a classified race over C&D last month and with this drop back in trip sure to suit (fair fifth over 11.6f at Bath latest) he's awarded the tentative vote. Naughty Niall has been knocking on the door and he seems sure to give it another good go, while a market move for Knight of Magic would look very significant.
