Forecasts

Barlovento (2/1), Leech (11/4), Briefly (3/1), Valfortore (4/1), Cold Steel (16/1)

Verdict

The market will be the best guide to expectations in this newcomers event but preference is for sole-filly BRIEFLY, who represents a yard that does very well in this sphere (had a 3-y-o winner at Warwick last week) and can repeat that feat at the expense of Barlovento, who also ticks plenty of boxes on paper.
