11/8

Forecasts

Statement (11/8), Achelois (3/1), Knowwhentorun (13/2), Skyrunner (15/2), Chipstead (11/1), Ariel (14/1), Sunset (20/1), Arizona Gold (28/1), Hiromichi (50/1), Belafonte (50/1), Rohaan (100/1), Oriental Spirit (200/1), Montjuic Force (250/1)

STATEMENT made an eye-catching debut in a Newmarket maiden that's proving strong form so, despite finding one too good at Sandown subsequently, she's fancied to open her account at the third time of asking. Achelois has achieved a similar level of form to the selection and could pose the main danger, with Skyrunner appealing as the pick of the newcomers.
