Forecasts

Tribal Star (4/5), Poniros (4/1), Align The Stars (4/1), Chain Of Command (16/1), Al Mootamarid (20/1), Dr Hackenbush (22/1), Turing (33/1), Carnival Day (50/1), Arch Legend (66/1)

Verdict

TRIBAL STAR showed plenty when runner-up in what is traditionally a strong maiden at Newmarket and he sets the bar pretty high. Poniros justified market confidence when making a winning debut at Nottingham and rates the main threat under a penalty, while well-connected newcomer Chain of Command needs keeping an eye on.
