Forecasts

Dubai Melody (13/8), Chorus (3/1), Strutting (10/3), De Ville (8/1), Twin Peaks (17/2), Windcrack (14/1), Sea Ice (18/1), Calm Waters (20/1), Flowering (80/1), Implacable (125/1), White Coco (200/1), Global Compassion (300/1)

Having caught the eye on her debut at Newmarket in September, CHORUS tops the list in this novice event, which is likely to throw up a number of future winners. Dubai Melody also made a positive start to her career on the Rowley Mile and she is feared most. Twin Peaks is the only member of the quartet trained by the Gosdens that has yet to race but she makes plenty of appeal on paper and could be the pick of them ahead of Strutting, while De Ville and Windcrack are other noteworthy newcomers.
