Forecasts

STYLISH PERFORMER is an interesting newcomer for a yard that are more than capable at readying one first time out. His dam won on her debut on the all-weather and he is chanced to emulate her in that regard. Kath's Toyboy shouldn't be far away on the form he showed here last time. Archie Watson's newcomers have to be respected also, so Dracostella should be noted in the market.
