Forecasts

Bergamasquo (5/2), Latopix (10/3), Mart Lane (7/2), Harty Cup (7/2), Maverick Mack (10/1), Lupin Du Groschene (14/1), Solar Generation (16/1), Lejolicoeur Du Mou (25/1), Not So Serious (25/1), Blow Wind Blow (40/1), Wilde Words (40/1), Whoswhointhezoo (50/1), Fairlander (80/1), Humble Brag (100/1), Coup D'essay (100/1), Don Jefe (150/1), Miss Kingston (250/1), Monkeyforajuice (250/1)

Verdict

HARTY CUP was third on his sole start between the flags and the hint should be taken if he's strong in the betting on this Rules debut. Another who showed ability in maiden points is Bergamasquo and he is feared most ahead of newcomer Mart Lane and British bumper winner Latopix.
