Forecasts

Star Fortress (1/1), Royal Invitation (6/4), Capstan (7/2), Jahoori (28/1), Newton Dancer (50/1), Hey Bails (66/1), Jedba (80/1), Timestamp (125/1), Mesbar (200/1), Easter Sundae (250/1)

STAR FORTRESS looked a useful prospect when second in a novice at Windsor on debut last month, pulling well clear of the rest, and sets a high standard. Capstan is worth another chance to confirm debut promise back on AW so is next best ahead of penalised-winner Royal Invitation.
