Forecasts

Chemical Energy (8/11), Velvet Elvis (10/3), Mare Quimby (5/1), Fresh Start (9/1), Erica's Joy (10/1), Salvador Ziggy (16/1), Champagnesocialist (20/1), Vintage Writer (28/1), Justbecool (40/1), Hihoharry (40/1), Ruleout (50/1), Maggie Barrett (50/1), Tunnel Of Hope (125/1), Brewel Hill (200/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high, so CHEMICAL ENERGY, representing a top yard, could easily be up to the task on debut. Velvet Elvis travelled well for a long way at Punchestown and may well improve, while Mare Quimby is another newcomer to keep an eye on.
