Forecasts

Moonjid (6/4), Radical Design (9/2), Kiss Me My Love (6/1), Grey Phoenix (6/1), Glorious Kitty (10/1), Pearly Squirrel (11/1), Springbok (16/1), Adorla Of Achill (20/1), Priapos (28/1), Very Muddy Waters (28/1), Blue Eclipse (150/1)

Verdict

A number with chances but it's distinctly possible we've yet to see the very best of MOONJID who has made a solid start for the Mick Appleby yard and he appeals as being on an exploitable mark. Grey Phoenix may emerge as a lead danger following her encouraging handicap debut fourth at Kempton, whilst Radical Design is yet another good advert for the Stuart Williams stable and also commands serious respect.
