Forecasts

Highjacked (10/3), Asadjumeirah (7/2), Mattella (5/1), Yazaman (15/2), Enderman (10/1), Nights Over Egypt (11/1), Wreck It Ryley (12/1), Purple Martini (18/1), Lily In The Jungle (25/1), Pocket The Packet (28/1), Dandy Spirit (28/1), Many A Year (28/1), Fylingdale (40/1)

Most have something to prove but MATTELLA is lightly raced and arrives on the back of a solid showing, so she's worth chancing on turf debut. Asadjumeirah should give his running and Enderman isn't without hope.
