Forecasts

Sapphire Valley (1/1), Hyperchromatic (13/8), Rock Master (11/1), It'sneverjustone (16/1), Terramindar (18/1), Campani (25/1), Loving Apprentice (28/1), Bust A Moon (28/1), Currahee (40/1), We're Done (125/1), Take The Boat (150/1), Baileys Value (150/1), Makes Me Wonder (200/1), Rationale (250/1)

SAPPHIRE VALLEY made the perfect start at Wolverhampton last week and with further improvement on the cards, George Boughey's charge is fancied to defy a penalty at the expense of Hyperchromatic, who ran to a similar level as on debut when fourth at Ripon 6 weeks ago and should be bang there on all-weather debut. Debutants Campani and Bust A Moon can fight out third.
