Forecasts

Equatorial (8/11), Troon (4/1), Fleet Admiral (13/2), Eyeshadow (11/1), Thunder Ball (16/1), Kokomo (16/1), Crack Shot (22/1), Stryder (66/1), Tajdif (80/1), Golden Moon (100/1), Aussi Mandate (125/1), Marisitta (250/1)

EQUATORIAL made a promising debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, albeit under more testing conditions, and looks a player with improvement very much on the cards. Troon looked a useful prospect at Kempton on debut last October and he's in with a shout even under a penalty. Fleet Admiral and Crack Shot are both interesting newcomers.
