Forecasts

Siam Fox (7/2), Beautiful Bertie (4/1), Our New Buddy (6/1), Tick Toch (6/1), Rifleman (15/2), Ibiza Rocks (11/1), Ensyaaby (14/1), Mr Trick (16/1), French Conquest (22/1), Sweet Bertie (28/1), Achelois (28/1), Decadent (40/1), Gearing's Point (40/1), Run To Freedom (40/1)

Potentially an above-average maiden. Siam Fox, Beautiful Bertie and Tick Toch all showed promise on debut and are tentatively preferred in that order before market clues. There are interesting newcomers that need watching in the betting also, notably Ensyaaby, Rifleman, Run To Freedom and Our New Buddy.
