Forecasts

Skilled Warrior (5/2), Kojin (11/4), Spilt Passion (16/5), Tellthemi'mhere (7/2), Indulging (13/2), Premium Ticket (14/1), Moving For Gold (18/1), Rivers Of Tay (25/1), Due North (33/1), Mr Rango (80/1), Midnight Fame (80/1), Jjs Ascot (100/1), Rajjee (100/1), Edge Of My Seat (125/1), My Boy Zac (150/1), David's Lad (200/1), Mayan Son (250/1), Dark Matter (400/1)

A very difficult maiden to decipher but TELLTHEMI'MHERE has been shaping well in maiden company all year on turf and ran as well as could be expected in listed company last time. She makes most appeal. Split Passion has had plenty of chances to get off the mark but she's consistent and should make the frame again. Skilled Warrior and Indulging aren't out of it either.
