Forecasts

Asterial (3/1), Indhaar (4/1), Cyrano De Bergerac (4/1), Cuff It (9/2), Zachary Hickes (6/1), Phantom Recon (8/1), Avarona (12/1), Steamroller (14/1), Sevenkingsmustdie (33/1), Virtue Diligence (66/1), Zynak (66/1), Eshowe (100/1), All Of My Heart (100/1), Zurna (150/1), Prophet Squeeze (250/1), Strong Man Tom (250/1)

Verdict

CYRANO DE BERGERAC is bred to be smart and bumped into a good one when second at Lingfield 6 weeks ago. He'll improve and can make his experience count. Indhaar and Asterial are appealing newcomers, while Steamroller could do a lot better with his debut run behind him.
