Forecasts

Miss Florentine (4/1), Prince Of Peace (6/1), Got The Moves (15/2), Chimeric (17/2), Eloy D'amerval (9/1), Legal Thriller (10/1), Tyrion's Dream (11/1), Lady Leanora (12/1), Stellar Spirit (14/1), Akhlaaq (16/1), Rare Flower (18/1), Supreme Machine (20/1), Time To Burn (22/1), Scream (22/1), Television (28/1), Pulsating (33/1), Ciankyle (33/1), Massaman (50/1), Lovely Sheila (66/1)

It's fair to say that TIME TO BURN has failed to build on her debut promise in two subsequent appearances, but she appeals as the type to take a significant step forward now pitched into a handicap off a potentially handy opening mark. Last-time-out winners Got The Moves and Miss Florentine have more on their plates here, with bigger threats likely to be posed by Eloy D'amerval and Lady Leanora.
