Forecasts

Rebel Red (9/4), Zivaniya (4/1), Spider Murphy (9/2), Diamond Dreamer (9/2), If Not Now (13/2), Al Jabrey (9/1), Island Star (9/1), Dawn Vega (12/1), Ashtanga (14/1), Demand Adaay (66/1)

REBEL RED catches the eye on paper being a full-brother to very smart 1m winner Without Parole, and he's selected to emulate him by making a winning start. Spider Murphy offered plenty to work on when runner-up on last month's debut at Leicester and rates a likely improver, while Al Jabrey is another newcomer to note.
