Forecasts

Harvestfortheworld (5/2), Loving A Boom (11/4), Bond Street (10/3), Cockalorum (4/1), Treble Cone (16/1), Ver Mi (20/1), Descendant (33/1), Written Word (33/1), Cantstoptherock (66/1), Footsteps At Dawn (66/1), Silvana Maria (100/1), Santa Anna (100/1)

COCKALORUM ran well to finish runner-up on last months racecourse debut and he can go one better on his first try at today's 1m distance. The step up in trip looks likely to suit today and he can see off the vastly more experienced Bond Street who is making his debut on this surface today. Harvestfotheworld represents a good yard in this contest and can get the better of Loving A Boom in the battle for third.
