Forecasts

Neptunian (8/15), Foxy Rascal (4/1), Pink Crystal (9/1), Roshambo (12/1), Espressoo (16/1), Tilly The Filly (22/1), Midheaven (22/1), Lucky Lucky Lucky (28/1), Sydney Bay (33/1), Top Notch Tommy (40/1), Hoi An Beach (50/1), Ha Long Bay (80/1), Lethal Vision (125/1), Paradise Of Love (200/1)

NEPTUNIAN showed promise amidst inexperience on his Newbury debut and is taken to build on that and prove too strong for last month's C&D scorer Foxy Rascal. The William Haggas-trained newcomer Pink Crystal would also very much enter the reckoning if the betting suggests she's fancied.
