Forecasts

Raaheeb (7/4), Behike (2/1), Norman Invasion (6/1), Pompette (13/2), Kaladan (15/2), Midnight Bandit (28/1), Yy Nation (33/1)

RAAHEEB leaps off the page as a brother to the top-class Hukum and Baaeed, who both had good records at Ascot, and the Royal Lodge entry could be primed to make a successful start for a yard who have struck with 3 of their last 5 newcomers. Norman Invasion and Behike are interesting debutants also.
