Forecasts

Barging Thru (11/8), Tippy Toes (13/8), King Of Speed (9/2), Lady Fanfare (12/1), Poetikel Piece (14/1), Picota (16/1), Danger Close (40/1), Established (66/1)

The market will doubtless reveal plenty here but marginal preference is for TIPPY TOES who showed up well when runner-up on her debut at Beverley and can put that experience to good use. Archie Watson's Barging Thru is greatly respected on his debut, although fellow newcomers Lady Fanfare and King of Speed are also worth a second look.
