Forecasts

New Hope Bullet (10/3), Michaela's Boy (9/2), Thunder Ball (11/2), Radio Goo Goo (7/1), Castan (7/1), Diomed Spirit (7/1), Harry Brown (10/1), Storm Venture (12/1), Havechatma (12/1), Lupset Flossy Pop (20/1)

MICHAELA'S BOY was just denied a winning nursery debut at Windsor last week and another small step forward would probably be enough for him to open his account, so he's preferred to Thunder Ball, who also arrives on the back of a positive start in nurseries. The likeable New Hope Bullet is also considered.
