Forecasts

Dhabab (10/3), Neptune Legend (7/2), Sed Maarib (5/1), Sweeping (13/2), Croupier (13/2), Wild Tiger (8/1), Triple Time (17/2), Yaahobby (16/1), Ascending (18/1), Larkin (25/1), Wild Mountain (25/1), Petrila (25/1), Kit Gabriel (80/1)

A cracking maiden event, featuring a number of well-bred newcomers. NEPTUNE LEGEND is well bred himself and cost £350,000 as a yearling, and he has the advantage of experience over most having shaped well when second at Nottingham 2 weeks ago. Debutants Sed Maarib, Dhabab, Yaahobby and Wild Tiger are all bred to be at least useful and the market may reveal expectations first time up.
