Forecasts

Brooklyn Boy (8/11), Mukha Magic (4/1), Zack Mayo (10/1), Twpsyn (10/1), Tigray (12/1), Star Ascending (20/1)

The newly hooded Twpsyn and the thriving BROOKLYN BOY carry 5lb penalties for respective wins at Kempton and Lingfield. However, a strong preference is for the Ivan Furtado-trained runner (seeks a hat-trick) who remains a step or two ahead of the handicapper. He was a decisive course winner (1m3f) on his first start for the yard earlier this month and has more to offer than the exposed Fibresand regulars Tigray and Star Ascending. Of the remainder, Mukha Magic could feasibly work his way into the frame if sharper and fitter for a recent Chelmsford spin (finished a keeping on third).
