Forecasts

Auguste Rodin (7/4), Glazunov (9/4), Tiverton (9/2), Sea Legend (5/1), Greenland (6/1), Lygon Street (17/2), The First And Last (12/1), Proud And Regal (16/1), Alder (16/1), Mister Mister (16/1), Trachonitus (18/1), Imadpour (25/1), Where R U Now Bob (150/1)

A host of interesting newcomers but AUGUSTE RODIN showed significant promise on debut and should take a bit of stopping if making the anticipated improvement. Glazunov, Sea Legend and Greenland are may be the pick of the debutants but the betting will provide more clues.
