Forecasts

Molaqab (8/13), Magic Memories (9/2), Little Hug (11/2), Cover Up (13/2), Red Hat Eagle (8/1), Goodfella (14/1), Queen Of Sparta (28/1), Zina Colada (80/1), Decisive Call (100/1), Nostromo (125/1), Full Mast (150/1), Optimal Sinn (200/1)

MOLAQAB improved again when third at Doncaster last time, in spite of the drop back in trip, so he can open his account returned to 7f. He is taken to get the better of Magic Memories, who is also open to further progress after his third at Windsor at the beginning of the month, with Cover Up completing the shortlist.
