Forecasts

Almoreb (3/1), Boston George (7/2), Bochart (6/1), Al Habash (6/1), Ibra Attack (7/1), Shanty Star (7/1), Hyde Park (11/1), Miller's House (20/1), Invincibly (22/1)

IBRA ATTACK needs to find a bit more on handicap debut but he's much less exposed than the rest and is taken to continue his progression. Boston George is in fine form and can chase him home, while Almoreb also has claims.
