Forecasts

Noble Champion (10/11), Wilhelmina (4/1), Best Rate (9/2), Vocal Legend (5/1), Oxford Circus (7/1), Dios De La Guerra (17/2), Astral Sea (16/1), Thurso (16/1), Rumseg (28/1), Cancel Culture (33/1), Dragon God (50/1), Juanfortherhode (100/1)

BEST RATE caught the eye from a long way back here last week and gets the vote. Noble Champion and Wilhelmina are others who have shown promise, while Astral Sea, the mount of Harry Davies from the Crisford pair, looks pick of the newcomers before any betting clues are known.
