Forecasts

Torcello (7/4), Maratha (7/2), Ply (4/1), Balashakh (8/1), Drumochter (11/1), Near Kettering (14/1), Desert Dream (18/1), Lunar Jet (20/1)

There are a few on a recovery mission here along with some that are improving and it’s the improvers that are the group to side with. Maratha looks as though he can continue his upward curve but does have to concede weight to the entire field here and that may prove a tough task. Drumochter has more to do under a 6lb rise in the weights but should still go well with Ply and BALASHAKH looking the real unexposed pair who have plenty more to come. Both are respected here and it’s only by a slight margin that the verdict goes to the latter of the duo.
