Forecasts

Superior Force (6/4), Arboy Will (7/2), Super Cub (13/2), Sir Randolph (15/2), Night Candle (11/1), Jastar (12/1), Lawful Command (14/1), Marsh Benham (28/1), Showdiemlad (33/1)

A fascinating opener with some interesting newcomers. They look to be headed by SUPER CUB, who has an attractive pedigree and hails from a top yard. Arboy Will sprung a shock when winning on debut at Windsor but that form is working out and he has to be respected. Jastar, Night Candle and Superior Force are other newcomers that need to be noted in a race where the market may be a useful guide.
