Forecasts

Honest Desire (3/1), Ureshii (3/1), Neapolitan (10/3), Hurricane Power (9/2), Exceed Now (9/1), Mujtahid (16/1), Arctic Dawn (33/1), More Light (33/1), Mesaafi (50/1), Blacklion (125/1), Mister Mojito (200/1), Phineas Finn (300/1)

Verdict

NEAPOLITAN's mid-field effort in a good Newmarket novice a month ago was a sound start and expected to build on that, he could be the answer. Hurricane Power's level is established but he warrants respect, with Exceed Now perhaps the pick of a reasonable bunch of newcomers.

  1. Neapolitan10/3
  2. Hurricane Power9/2
  3. Exceed Now9/1
