Forecasts

Eylara (4/5), Albedo (10/3), Glinting (9/2), Stay Safe (7/1), Jo March (8/1), French Fusion (14/1), Let It Bea (28/1), Bandelia (40/1), Grey Angel (50/1), Positive Polly (66/1), Inveterate (66/1), She's Good Company (80/1)

EYLARA is a well-bred filly who showed more than enough on debut to suggest she will win a race or two, and one of the newcomers will have to be well-above average to stop her proving the point here. O'Brien newcomers may well fill the places though, with Aidan's Glinting just preferred to Joseph's Albedo for the forecast spot.
