Forecasts

Moostar (3/1), Raft Up (6/1), Neptune Legend (13/2), Dapperling (8/1), He's An Angel (10/1), Camera Shy (10/1), Royal Musketeer (12/1), Mayo County (12/1), Ottawa (12/1), Grand Citadel (12/1), Miss Mendoza (14/1), Albert Cee (20/1), Badosa (50/1)

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.
