Forecasts

Bay City Roller (9/4), King's Charter (5/2), Starzintheireyes (3/1), Vecu (13/2), Akrramm (17/2), Paragon (11/1), Middle Ages (16/1), Evangelic (18/1), Valiant Knight (20/1), Wave Rider (22/1), Miakoda (28/1), Troy Story (50/1), Northern Blaze (50/1), Go Colin Go (150/1)

A deep novice but STARZINTHEIREYES made a bright start at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and with improvement likely, he's hard to get away from. The betting may help sort out a stack of interesting newcomers, headed by King's Charter, Valiant Knight and Paragon.
