Forecasts

Number (4/6), Holbrook (7/1), Oakley Boy (17/2), Oasis Sunrise (9/1), Lockwood (9/1), Ballsgrove Boy (12/1), Glitterati (20/1), Bear Route (20/1), Dalmally (40/1), Lady Shinto (80/1), Dinky Diva (200/1), Sangatien (250/1)

NUMBER has acquitted himself well in both starts to date and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy. He can open his account. The chief threat may come from one of the newcomers, with Glitterati and Ballsgrove Boy appealing most.
