Forecasts

Wiccan (7/4), Mogok Valley (15/8), My Delilah (9/2), Twilight Fun (11/2), Shamalama (12/1), Captain Dandy (25/1)

Not much between most of these on evidence so far, but MOGOK VALLEY's second at Salisbury rates the best piece of form on offer and he narrowly gets the verdict on his first start since the summer. My Delilah and Twilight Fun are next best, although Wiccan is an interesting newcomer.
