Forecasts

Brunello (2/1), Man O Work (3/1), Evergreen And Red (7/2), Faron (11/2), Global Export (10/1), Ages Of Man (12/1), Plough On (14/1), Just For Yuse (25/1), Great Realisation (50/1), Shantou Special (66/1), South East Star (100/1), Something Small (125/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (150/1), The Role Model (150/1), Hillsin (250/1), Lady Sands (250/1), Seen It In Colour (250/1), Numidia (300/1)

This looks an ordinary maiden hurdle so fairly-useful Flat recruits FARON and Evergreen And Red make the most appeal, the former shading the vote. Brunello and Global Export both remain with potential, while Man O Work sets the standard.
