Forecasts

Sax Appeal (13/8), Blue Curacao (10/3), Mr Gloverman (9/2), Gwendolina (7/1), Johnjay (9/1), Originally (22/1), Kentucky Bourbon (28/1), Precious Lagatha (33/1), Captain Cisco (50/1), Little Helen (50/1), Take My Breath (50/1), David's Diva (66/1), Huckleberry (100/1), Bala Hatun (125/1)

Not a strong novice so it may pay to side with well-bred newcomer SAX APPEAL on debut for a powerful yard. Blue Curacao and Mr Gloverman are perhaps the pick of those with experience.
