Forecasts

Eye Of Dubai (1/1), The Bobster (4/1), Beale Street (13/2), War Memorial (12/1), Cuban Storm (12/1), Valentine Catcher (14/1), Alhoby (16/1), Front Gunner (20/1), Dain Ma Nut In (22/1), Westend Avenue (22/1), Stanley Street (33/1), Lady Phoebe (33/1), After Time (66/1), Askim (100/1)

A weak novice so a good opportunity for EYE OF DUBAI, who went close on his debut at Chester 3 weeks ago. The Bobster and Beale Street both offered something to work on first-time out so are feared most.
