Forecasts

Reposado (11/10), Target Man (9/4), Jewel Of London (7/2), Galaxy Zoo (25/1), Natsumi (33/1)

TARGET MAN made a promising start when just edged out at Lingfield and is fancied to build on it and get off the mark at the chief expense of Jewel of London, who has the form to play a big part if at her best. Reposado is also well in the mix if bringing his A-game.
