Forecasts

Island Falcon (11/4), Kalahari Prince (3/1), Untold Mystery (9/2), Barley (9/1), Rockfire (10/1), Clear Day (11/1), Percy Jones (12/1), Via Serica (18/1), Honiton (22/1), Army Sergeant (22/1), Nathanael Greene (22/1), King Eagle (25/1), Nova Legend (28/1), Wolf Of Oxshott (28/1), Gracefullalfie (40/1), Spirit Of Uae (80/1), Captain Howse (200/1)

A superb back-end maiden featuring a host of quality pedigrees. ISLAND FALCON shaped with plenty of promise when third starting out at Goodwood 17 days ago, and with that under his belt and before the benefit of market clues, he gets the tentative vote. Untold Mystery, Kalahari Prince and Nova Legend are a trio of many interesting newcomers.
