Forecasts

Al Najashi (1/2), Thankfully Simmy (7/2), Marra Donna (15/2), Mister Moet (8/1), Euphonia (14/1), Real Gold (20/1)

AL NAJASHI looked a long way ahead of his opening mark when scoring in decisive fashion at Southwell recently, so a 6 lb rise in the weights doesn't look remotely enough to prevent the follow up. Thankfully Simmy will benefit from a return to this trip on his first handicap start and is second choice.
