Forecasts

Assertively (2/1), Night In Paris (10/3), Tuscan Point (10/3), Lucent (7/1), Startling (8/1), Spring Corn (20/1), Barmyblade (25/1)

The market should reveal plenty but Richard Fahey's son of Blue Point TUSCAN POINT is bred to be useful so gets the nod at the chief expense of David O'Meara's Startling. Fellow newcomers Night In Paris and Assertively also need considering.
