Forecasts

Oh Say (11/8), Nakao (2/1), Catherine Chroi (13/2), Rock The Barzah (7/1), Ben Asker (10/1), Astrophysicist (10/1), Li Mu Bai (14/1), Falsaron (16/1), Breagagh (22/1), My Boy Charles (28/1), Dynakite (33/1), Spring Magic (66/1)

A few with chances but NAKAO could be worth siding with to make a winning debut given he is in excellent hands and also possesses an appealing pedigree. Oh Say is the form pick of those with experience so rates next best ahead of Falsaron, who holds solid place claims, especially if blinkers eke out a bit more improvement.
