Forecasts

Rafferty (5/4), Baddesley Prince (2/1), The Rocket Park (8/1), Kildoon Lucille (8/1), Magic Dragon (12/1), Watching Over (16/1), Nolans Hotspur (100/1)

KILDOON LUCILLE is an interesting newcomer in this sphere and the booking of Richard Johnson catches the eye. She can make a winning debut at the expense of Rafferty who can chase her home.
