Forecasts

Gavriel (7/4), Moment Of Light (7/2), National History (9/2), Uniter (11/2), Double Eagle (15/2), Engross (12/1), Home Hero (25/1), Labiche (50/1), Corduroy (50/1), Sahm Naif (200/1), Miss Colette (300/1)

MOMENT OF LIGHT was coming home well once he got organised on debut at Chester and gets the vote with improvement expected switched to AW. Gavriel could do a lot better with his first run behind him, while Uniter and Engross are a couple of interesting newcomers.
