Forecasts

Samburu (5/6), Naranco (4/1), Neptunian (9/2), Stockpyle (8/1), Taratari (18/1), Belhaven (25/1), Prophet's Dream (40/1), Speranzoso (40/1), You Are Everything (50/1), Everloving (66/1), Sir Alfred M (125/1), Nivelle's Magic (150/1), Kharshuf (200/1)

An interesting novice event, though Kingman-colt SAMBURU' s debut form 6 months ago is as good as any on offer and he could be a really smart prospect with considerable improvement on the cards. NEPTUNIAN is the other one with a penalty to carry after a debut success himself 6 months ago, and he too can take a step forward. Naranco and Stockpyle are twice raced and have the form to fight out minor honours.
