Forecasts

Broadspear (9/4), Hoo Ya Mal (4/1), Velazquez (7/1), Dawn Of Liberation (15/2), Brazilian Beach (11/1), Vintage Choice (12/1), Herbertandflorence (18/1), Sharvara (20/1), Capital Theory (22/1), Ample Power (25/1), Emperor Caradoc (25/1), Skye Breeze (28/1), Killearn (33/1), Blenheim Boy (66/1), Echosmith (80/1), Dream Show (100/1), Muveran (200/1)

BROADSPEAR pulled clear with another well backed newcomer when runner-up at Salisbury 2 months ago and that form is arguably the best on offer in this valuable and competitive-looking maiden. Dawn of Liberation and Hoo Ya Mal both made eye-catching debuts at Newbury and Sandown respectively and they head the dangers.
