3/1

Forecasts

Blue Missile (9/4), Running Lion (3/1), Frankness (10/3), Luckin Brew (6/1), Alseyoob (9/1), Achillea (9/1)

Lots of potential on show and the market should prove highly informative. RUNNING LION has plenty to recommend her on paper and is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of another interesting newcomer in Blue Missile. Luckin Brew also warrants plenty of respect on her racecourse debut.
