Forecasts

Montather (8/11), Sargasso Sea (3/1), Power Of Time (5/1), Lord Of The Sky (5/1), Majestic Noor (6/1), Pedal Power (20/1), Lord P (22/1), Ragtime Sally (33/1), Grand Canal (66/1), African Sun (100/1), Colada Cove (100/1), Mazekine (100/1), Cuban (100/1)

MONTATHER is taken to make a winning racecourse debut for leading connections with a good draw in stall six a further pointer to his chances. The selection can get the better of the expensive breeze-up purchase Sargasso Sea who can fill the runner-up spot on her debut while third place can go to Majestic Noor who showed promise when fifth on her only start to date.
