Forecasts

Glen Force (16/5), Jean Baptiste (5/1), Lord Neidin (6/1), Cemhaan (6/1), Notforalongtime (6/1), Kodiac Harbour (10/1), Hot Summer (11/1), Sidereal (12/1), He's A Keeper (22/1), Daafr (28/1), Light Up Our Stars (80/1)

NOTFORALONGTIME failed to meet expectations at Sandown but was progressive prior to that, beating a couple of subsequent winners when completing the hat-trick at Doncaster, and is worth another chance back from a break. Lord Neidin took a step forward when runner-up at Kempton and is open to further improvement, while Jean Baptiste is another who remains with potential.
