Forecasts

Obelix (10/11), Sea Eagle (10/3), Lord Of Biscay (6/1), Survival (11/1), Nader King (12/1), My Lion (16/1), Climate Precedent (25/1), Miss Cynthia (100/1), Blindedbythelights (125/1), Primrose Maid (250/1), O'Mhaire (250/1)

OBELIX ran to a fairly useful level when second on debut and is fancied to get the better of some really interesting newcomers, with Lope de Vega colt Lord of Biscay and Roaring Lion filly My Lion perhaps possessing the most appealing pedigrees regarding winning first time up.
