Forecasts

Munsif (1/1), Sea Of Kings (9/4), Cameron Highlander (7/2), Belaya River (15/2), So Alex (10/1), Karthon (12/1), Just Adair (33/1), Fiery Dawn (33/1), Typeface (125/1)

Those with experience don't set a tall standard to aim at so SEA OF KINGS is selected to make a winning start for the up-and-coming Harry Eustace yard. Heading up the dangers is Cameron Highlander, who showed plenty to work on when third in a Newcastle novice last month and is open to improvement. Newcomers Munsif and Belaya River are worth keeping a close eye on, too.
