Forecasts

Manaafith (11/10), Assessment (9/4), Noble Order (5/2), Court Of Session (5/1), Maritime Rules (10/1), The Writer (16/1), Fabiosa (18/1), Amjad (40/1), Al Azhar (50/1), Golden Shot (250/1)

NOBLE ORDER ran very well when sent off favourite for a Newmarket novice event last month and he should improve and is difficult to oppose. Manaafith may be the biggest danger returning from a break and wind surgery. Assessment is the most appealing of the newcomers.
