Forecasts

Margub (11/4), Arafi (10/3), Gobi Sunset (9/2), Baby Steps (8/1), Young Fire (17/2), Corvair (11/1), Gabrial The Devil (12/1), Harrison Point (14/1)

ARAFI's best performance to date came over C&D and she ran very well at Lingfield on Good Friday despite not being well-in at the weights that day. She is consistent and may have not stopped improving so she stands out back at this venue. Gobi Sunset is very consistent too and he'll be a significant danger after a series of good efforts. Margub makes most appeal of the remainder.
