Forecasts

Delgrey Boy (85/40), John Jasper (11/2), Redesdale Rebel (6/1), Kylie Rules (15/2), Qawamees (17/2), Nat Love (10/1), Aoife's Joy (12/1), Sorbonne (12/1), Twin Appeal (14/1), Club Wexford (16/1), Dragons Will Rise (16/1), Makeen (20/1), Dubai Acclaim (20/1), Ricksen (40/1), Singe Anglais (40/1), Willa (100/1)

It could be worth chancing NAT LOVE, who starts the campaign on a potentially-handy mark and has joined a yard that has been amongst the winners of late, including one that made the same stable switch. Redesdale Rebel and Dragons Will Rise arrive on the back of career-best wins and they head the dangers.
