Forecasts

Madaket (13/8), Moonlight Artist (3/1), Rare Clouds (5/1), Sporty Jim (11/2), Paricolor (7/1), Faded Fantasy (9/1), Burrows Park (16/1)

Verdict

The way MADAKET finished over 21f at Kempton last month strongly suggests this step back up in trip is well worth exploring and he gets the vote in a competitive handicap now tried in cheekpieces. Sporty Jim could be the danger.

  1. MADAKET
  2. SPORTY JIM (IRE)
  3. RARE CLOUDS
