Forecasts

Marks Bear (3/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (9/2), Mashmoom (5/1), Dashing Dick (7/1), Libertine Belle (8/1), Live Stream (17/2), Beijing Billy (10/1), Creedmoor (10/1), Secret Handsheikh (33/1)

A typically competitive nursery. CREEDMOOR shaped encouragingly behind a fairly useful pair in a C&D novice last month and doesn't look overburdened from a mark in the high 60s, especially with further improvement on the cards, so she receives the tentative vote. Marks Bear was runner-up to a subsequent winner at Goodwood and heads the opposition, along with Mashmoom.
