Forecasts

Neptune Legend (3/1), Moostar (3/1), Albert Cee (4/1), Raft Up (5/1), Royal Musketeer (6/1), He's An Angel (13/2), Camera Shy (10/1), Mayo County (10/1), Grand Citadel (12/1), Ottawa (18/1), Miss Mendoza (18/1), Dapperling (18/1), Badosa (66/1)

MOOSTAR was having just her third start for James Owen when coming close at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and remains fairly treated. She makes fair appeal. Raft Up and Neptune Legend head the list of dangers.
