Forecasts

Topomania (1/1), Manaslu (5/4), Allo Arry (14/1), Twilight Falls (16/1), Acoustic (18/1), Jazz Samba (40/1), Aighear (50/1), Mr Quigley (50/1), Thunderhill (100/1), Kaze Wo Atsumete (100/1), Milliemix (200/1), Calderbank (300/1)

This seemingly revolves around TOPOMANIA, who made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up to a more experienced rival at Newcastle 17 days ago. Open to improvement and with James Horton enjoying plenty of early-season success, he should take some stopping. The main threat could be Manaslu, who improved on debut form after 5 months off when third at Hamilton recently, while Twilight Falls may prove best of the newcomers.
