Forecasts

Appointed One (5/4), Signcastle City (9/4), Miyagi (3/1), Bernadine (6/1), Matching Sox (15/2), The Bullion Bomber (11/1), Coloane (12/1), Tranquillity (14/1), Revolucion (20/1), Unagi (33/1), Royal Lily (33/1), Eight Mile (50/1), Havechatma (50/1), Queen's Eyot (150/1)

In the absence of Signcastle City, this looks ripe for a newcomer so APPOINTED ONE gets the tentative nod to strike at the first time of asking for leading trainer Charlie Appleby. Bernadine is worth a second look stepped upped in trip but the main dangers could be Miyagi and Matching Sox, who make plenty of paper appeal and can chase the selection home in that order.
