Forecasts

Mr Noble (5/4), Horace Wallace (7/4), City Of Dreams (5/1), Hen Party (8/1), Houndhill (25/1), Come As You Are (50/1), Liquid Cooled (66/1), Honorable Man (100/1)

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to Karl Burke's Starman colt MR NOBLE who is bred to be above average and can make a winning start at the chief expense of Leicester third and form pick Hen Party. Newcomers Horace Wallace and City Of Dreams could both have a say too in an open-looking maiden.
