Forecasts

Del Maro (1/1), Nova Centauri (9/4), Lyneham (5/1), Mr Wonka (7/1), Merci Monsieur (15/2), Morbeh (11/1), El Loco (16/1), Colourband (18/1), Pathein (28/1), Seeway (33/1), Test Run (80/1)

An interesting maiden in which NOVA CENTAURI is fancied to build on the considerable promise of his Newbury debut third and thwart Del Maro and newcomer Lyneham who are both in excellent hands and need monitoring in the betting. Lingfield debut third Merci Monsieur completes the shortlist.
