Forecasts

Stormy Waves (11/8), Bigbertiebassett (7/2), Arabic Legend (7/2), Al Mootamarid (5/1), Grecian God (7/1), Secret Beach (11/1), Novello Lad (25/1), Scarbados (50/1), Dash Power (50/1), Factorforfurniture (66/1), Jesse William (125/1)

A field of interesting newcomers and lightly-raced sorts open to improvement. STORMY WAVES stands out on paper, as a Dubawi colt who fetched a pretty packet at the yearling sales. Arabic Legend is another son of Dubawi and much respected, while Bigbertiebassett outran his odds at Newbury on debut and is the pick of those with experience.
