Forecasts

Amanda Hug'n'kiss (5/2), Meng Tian (7/2), Way To Win (4/1), Galileo Glass (9/2), Leopold Bloom (5/1), Robasta (10/1), Devasboy (14/1), Kisses Of Fire (80/1)

MENG TIAN has a 7-month absence to overcome, but he suggested this longer trip should be within range on his final run at Kempton, so he could well be the answer on his first start since being gelded. Amanda Hug'n'kiss should remain competitive, while Galileo Glass and Robasta both set out for new yards following breaks and require market checks.
