Forecasts

Chartwell House (5/4), Cobalt Blue (4/1), Lunacy (9/2), Sydney Mews (8/1), Speziato (11/1), Naughty Monty (16/1), Red N Blue Candy (18/1), Barleybrown (33/1), Chinthurst (100/1), Greavsie (150/1)

Not a strong maiden on paper so LUNACY, representing a successful yard and a half-brother to a 2-y-o winner, could be the answer on debut. Chartwell House and Cobalt Blue look the pick of those with experience.
