Forecasts

Lady Pink Rose (10/11), Noo Point (5/2), White Christmas (11/2), Sheriff's Call (13/2), Flaccianello (9/1), Invincible Royale (12/1), Full Gambit (20/1), Moral Standards (22/1), Luna Rouge (100/1)

Those with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so it's probably best to focus on the newcomers, LADY PINK ROSE selected to make a winning start for the red-hot Karl Burke yard. Noo Point and Flaccianello may emerge as the main dangers ahead of the twice-raced White Christmas in a contest where the market should reveal plenty.
