Forecasts

Milteye (5/4), All Blues (10/3), Little Helen (7/2), Goldsborough (10/1), Glory Sky (14/1), Done Decision (16/1), Island King (22/1), Another Thought (28/1), Golden Phase (66/1), Mini Mildred (100/1)

MILTEYE made an encouraging start when runner-up in a back-end Newmarket novice last season and, with further improvement on the cards, Jack Channon's colt is fancied to go one better on reappearance. Irish-raider All Blues could emerge as the main threat with the booking of top claimer Billy Loughnane catching the eye, with newcomer Glory Sky third on the list.
