Forecasts

Beny Nahar (11/8), What's The Plan (6/4), Red Spells Danger (5/1), Shayem (9/1), Up The Agenda (22/1), Act Of Honor (50/1), Risk Averse Rebel (80/1), Lynxman (300/1)

Oisin Murphy takes over from a 5 lb apprentice on BENY NAHAR who should take a bit of stopping on the back of a promising opening effort at Newcastle. What's The Plan and Red Spells Danger also shaped well on their debuts and look the obvious dangers unless the betting speaks in the favour of Karl Burke newcomer Shayem.
