Forecasts

Chumbaa (7/2), Taygar (18/5), Macedonian King (9/2), Scoops Ahoy (6/1), Classy Clarets (15/2), Northern Prince (10/1), Celestial Flight (10/1), Major Kessaar (20/1), All About Neve (22/1), Chicabiddy (40/1)

The market should prove very useful in assessing the newcomers yet, CHUMBAA, the sole runner with experience, offered something to work on when third in a Southwell novice 10 days ago and with improvement likely, she could be the answer from a handy draw. Of the newcomers, Classy Clarets, Scoops Ahoy and Taygar all make some appeal on paper and are worth monitoring.
