Forecasts

Dawn Of Liberation (4/6), Shigar (11/4), Blueberry Hill (9/2), Mount Athos (14/1), Pensa Te (25/1), Dark Side Thunder (40/1), Waba Daba Do (100/1), Skyefall (200/1), Run Teddy Run (250/1), Havana Vision (250/1)

DAWN OF LIBERATION sets a solid standard having finished second in a couple of strong maidens at York and Newmarket last season so has obvious claims for a yard that has won the last 2 renewals of this novice. Shigar and Blueberry Hill are worth another chance to confirm debut promise so rate the main threats.
