Forecasts

Ballymore Vision (11/10), Eden Storm (9/4), Wall Game (4/1), Nine Six Five (7/1), Moonfleet Moment (16/1), Pearly Star (20/1), Blissfilly (40/1), Valkyrian (50/1), Arawan (50/1), Pedrar (125/1)

BALLYMORE VISION made an encouraging start to his career at Newmarket last autumn and might have struck upon a weakish race on his return to action. Wall Game, Nine Six Five and Pearly Star have the potential for better and can fight it out for minor honours.
