Forecasts

Thomas Equinas (7/2), Blue Flame (7/2), Hezahunk (4/1), Monaadhil (9/2), Fayasel (17/2), Rhythmic Acclaim (17/2), Doves Of Peace (11/1), Nemorum (12/1), Laura's Breeze (33/1), Little Man (33/1), Tammany Hall (100/1)

MONAADHIL shaped as if still in good form under a penalty when not seen to best effect here 2 weeks ago and remains of interest going for a fifth C&D win. Hezahunk and Rhythmic Acclaim head the dangers.
