Forecasts

Badda Bing (4/1), Branding (9/2), Fair Taxes (5/1), Ohailbhic (6/1), The Poacher Daly (6/1), Oh So Bright (10/1), Hemight (12/1), Cool Dan (12/1), Spirit Lady (16/1), Court Phoenix (18/1), Rosato (20/1), Dabirsim Flyer (25/1), Salah Belle (33/1), Lorr's Girl (200/1), Pocket Paralysis (200/1)

OH SO BRIGHT makes plenty of appeal on paper so may be up to making a winning start in what looks an ordinary maiden. Fair Taxes shaped like an improver when third over C&D on debut 5 weeks ago so is next best ahead of Branding, who wasn't seen to best effect back from a break here 16 days ago.
