Forecasts

New Image (6/5), Hispanic (4/1), Ardad's Great (9/2), Paddington (5/1), Son Of Sampers (13/2), Small Oasis (8/1), Desert Haven (16/1), Torivega (18/1), Broad Daylight (80/1), Chica Linda (125/1), Lisieux (150/1)

NEW IMAGE shaped with plenty of promise when chasing home Age of Kings on debut over this C&D in June, in turn pulling nicely clear of the rest. He will be more street-wise this time and may well be the answer. Ardad's Great sets the standard judged on her near miss in a listed race at Tipperary on her penultimate start but she wasn't in the same next time. The selection could have more to fear from the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo, Hispanic and Paddington, both of whom are open to improvement.
