Forecasts

Sighter (7/4), Ocean Bliss (4/1), Crocus Time (5/1), Keen Interest (11/2), Rhasidat (15/2), Moreginplease (8/1), Ruth Langmore (8/1)

A few with chances but SIGHTER looks to start life in handicaps off a handy mark so gets the vote. Ocean Bliss also warrants plenty of respect on his debut in this sphere with Moreginplease appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
