Forecasts

Scoops Ahoy (9/4), Ponga (11/4), Match That (11/2), Bazball (8/1), Port And Starburd (9/1), Nellie Leylax (10/1), Up The Jazz (16/1), Soul Singer (16/1), Tangled Up In Blue (16/1), Grecian Princess (25/1), Stamper (40/1), Fullofbrightideas (80/1), Just Like Tonto (125/1), Missutoo (200/1)

Unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding the newcomers it may pay to focus on those with experience, with SCOOPS AHOY selected to go one place better than on last month's C&D debut. Ponga also filled the runner-up spot on his debut and is second choice ahead of the selection's stablemate Match That, who faded out of it on her heavy-ground debut but the fact she went off favourite suggests she's well regarded and she may last longer this time.
