Forecasts

Simply Blue (10/3), Me Tarzan (4/1), Maldevious (7/1), Duca Di Lucca (7/1), Looks Fantastic (7/1), Summertime Blues (8/1), Star Of Mali (9/1), Moostar (11/1), Wadacre Maestro (14/1), Highfield Sunshine (33/1), Fulford Cross (40/1)

A case can be made for plenty of these. ME TARZAN has been knocking on the door with consistent placed efforts, including a career best at Kempton 8 days ago, and the switch back to a visor may see him resume winning ways. Moostar races off her last successful mark and looks interesting on first start for the excellent James Owen yard. Maldevious drops in class on just her second handicap start and could be more competitive if the market suggests she's ready to roll following a year off.
