Forecasts

Tricky Tel (5/6), Luminare (7/2), Dubai Time (9/2), Frio (6/1), Senorita Vega (9/1), Bring It On (10/1), Somebody (14/1), Star Marian (16/1), Maynora (18/1), Go Victor (22/1), Call Me By My Name (25/1), Monica's Lad (40/1), Davvy (50/1)

LUMINARE makes plenty of appeal on paper and the booking of Ryan Moore signals intent, so she's taken to make a successful debut despite being drawn widest of all. Frio is also poorly drawn in stall 12 but is still entitled to build on an encouraging debut at Musselburgh, with Dubai Time another debutante to note.
