Forecasts

Lost Boys (5/4), Saxophonic (7/2), Noble Journey (7/2), Poseidon's Warrior (13/2), Brighton View (9/1), Edwin Hubble (10/1), Golden Knight (11/1), Double Combo (20/1), Houndswood Willow (33/1), Helios Path (66/1), Risk Averse Rebel (400/1)

A fascinating maiden in which Charlie Appleby's son of Sea The Stars POSEIDON'S WARRIOR is taken to go in at the chief expense of fellow newcomer Saxophonic, who also is bred to be well above average. Lost Boys shaped well when third at Ascot last time and appeals most of those with experience. Double Combo is another debutant worthy of consideration.
