Forecasts

Ransom (8/11), Notforalongtime (4/1), Dutch Glory (8/1), Snag It (9/1), Pierre Lapin (9/1), Fleetfootsoldier (14/1), Allo Arry (16/1), Chica Power (16/1), May Night (22/1), Tai Sing Yeh (33/1), Man Is King (100/1), Maestro Stick (125/1), Lightupthesky (200/1)

TAI SING YEH had gone off the boil when last seen in November but is a classy sort for claiming level if a 3-month break has had a reviving effect. Ransom has been placed twice in handicaps here in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of Laura Hourigan's Notforalongtime.
