Forecasts

Fly By Milan (5/6), Highstakesplayer (7/2), Travail D'Orfevre (7/1), Majestic Storm (15/2), Fudgeman (16/1), Royal Rank (28/1), Get The Facts (50/1), Monchique's Lass (66/1)

Five newcomers on show but FLY BY MILAN sets a good standard on the form of his C&D second last month under similar conditions so is hard to look beyond. Highstakesplayer also shaped with encouragement on his debut when third at Sandown so rates next best with Majestic Storm and Travail d'Orfevre appealing as the pick of the debutants.
