Forecasts

Swift One (11/4), Jarvis (11/2), Heart To Heart (13/2), Heytesbury Lane (7/1), Unconquerable Keen (8/1), Memory Motel (10/1), Admiral D (10/1), Arch Enemy (11/1), New Star (12/1), Cherry Bloom (14/1), Doitforandrew (16/1), Magniffico (18/1), Pimlico (22/1), Mumayaz (28/1), Dream Oasis (33/1), Chris's Rose (40/1), Mister Wilson (40/1), Dahomey (50/1)

SWIFT ONE left his previous efforts well behind to run out a convincing winner on his nursery debut over C&D last month, and although the bare form is nothing out of the ordinary, he seems sure to win more races. Heytesbury Lane will be suited by at least 6f and could progress again, with Jarvis and Memory Motel others to consider.
