Forecasts

Courageous Knight (5/4), Grey's Monument (5/2), Garner (13/2), Silencer (7/1), Cold Case (7/1), Tarlo (8/1), Maxi King (14/1), Harlem Nights (16/1), Snuggle (22/1), Unlimited Data (66/1)

Four-fifths newcomers, several with plenty to recommend them on paper, and a market check is essentail, but Courageous Knight, Tarlo and Silencer jump off the page in that order. Grey's Monument went off a short price on debut at Windsor and he might be open to plenty of improvement.
