Forecasts

Ajrad (9/4), Inveigle (3/1), Keep Right On (10/3), Kawaalees (11/2), Spirit Of Iffraaj (10/1), Epidemic (12/1), Poet's King (18/1), Honor Day (22/1), Oceanline (33/1), Max Diligence (33/1), Tranquil Breeze (66/1), Hundon (200/1)

AJRAD improved again when second at Yarmouth recently and should be well positioned from stall 1, so he gets the marginal vote in a novice where several are closely matched on form. Inveigle's chance can't be ignored and Epidemic is open to improvement after a considerate debut, so they're just 2 of several dangers to the selection.
