Forecasts

Mons Star (1/6), Fields Of Dreams (11/4), Sea It My Way (5/1), Engrave (8/1), The Rocket Park (20/1), Byron Green (50/1), Big Bang (66/1), Ed Cuvee (66/1)

MONS STAR is well-bred and showed enough on debut at Newmarket in April to suggest he'll win races. He failed to build on that next time at Chester but wouldn't be the first to struggle on the Roodee and should open his account after a break. Fields of Dreams flopped at Kempton on handicap debut but can be given another chance while the filly Engrave should improve on her debut effort at this venue last month and be competitive.
