Forecasts

Bold Style (11/10), Hutchence (9/4), Space Legend (11/2), Ville Natale (7/1), Rakki (14/1), Mimasusa (50/1), Judgementofsolomon (150/1), Lady Birdie (200/1)

BOLD STYLE ran to a fairly useful level despite an unfavourable draw and greenness when second at Wolverhampton on debut and looks the one to beat. Hutchence had little go right at Newmarket and can be expected to do much better, while Ville Natale and Space Legend are a couple of newcomers to note.
