Forecasts

Ahamoment (9/4), Grand Citadel (10/3), All Too Beautiful (4/1), Shark Two One (4/1), Beltane (5/1), Desert Beauty (17/2), Albeyours (11/1), Professor Tickle (28/1), Surprise Again (40/1), Tea Leaf Ted (50/1)

AHAMOMENT was clear of the rest when second at Musselburgh recently and could go one better off the same mark if showing up in similar form. This summer's C&D winner Shark Two One is also shortlisted along with Roger Teal's All Too Beautiful.
