Forecasts

Desert (5/2), Noble Albert (10/3), Isladaay (4/1), Prodigious Blue (4/1), Raneen (11/1), Greek Philosopher (12/1), Empress Sheba (18/1)

Hard to know what to expect with most making their handicap debuts. However, the vote goes to DESERT, who ran well when finishing a close twelfth in the Super Sprint and should make more impact in nurseries for Richard Hannon. Prodigious Blue, Isladaay and Noble Albert look the main dangers in that order.
