Forecasts

Moonlight Bomb (11/4), Initial Blue (3/1), Prefer The Sister (4/1), Sceptic (11/2), Cable Beach (7/1), Bullington Bry (9/1), No Knee Never (12/1), Jazzit (16/1), Bad Habits (18/1), Embarked (20/1), Volendam (25/1)

A competitive handicap which may well be prime for one of the 3-y-o stable switchers. MOONLIGHT BOMB shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when third over further at Wolverhampton 37 days ago and edges the vote over Initial Blue who ran well himself last time. Prefer The Sister and Bullington Bry complete the shortlist.
