Forecasts

Eldelbar (7/2), Rockley Point (9/2), Gleaming Arch (11/2), St Anne's (11/2), Deolali (6/1), Gigi's Beach (14/1), Qaaraat (14/1), Hard Solution (16/1), Jungle Inthebungle (20/1), Billy Dylan (22/1), Jungle Rock (22/1), Silver Sniper (33/1), Kroy (50/1)

ST ANNE'S took a big step forward when just failing on handicap debut at Southwell, giving a more experienced rival a real fright, and she looks capable of defying this sort of mark. Rockley Point is thriving at the moment and rates the main threat, with Qaaraat and Eldelbar best of the others.
