Forecasts

Grey Cuban (2/1), Angel Of England (7/2), Cheeky Blimey (4/1), Fast Society (17/2), The Coffee Pod (12/1), Salvuccio (14/1), Bulmer Bank (14/1), Boann (14/1), Magic Fluke (16/1), Crimson Spirit (28/1), Faster Bee (33/1), Mist Rollin In (66/1), Power Of Zeus (80/1)

GREY CUBAN fared best of the newcomers when runner-up at Newmarket and can go one better with improvement on the cards. Cheeky Blimey stepped up on debut when a close second at the same course and rates the main threat ahead of Angel of England, who only just failed at Thirsk.
