Forecasts

Royal Liberty (1/1), Up Sticks And Go (4/1), Onesarnieshort (4/1), French Flyer (7/1), Mountain Approach (8/1), Squirrelheed (16/1), Billy Booth (20/1)

There’s no doubt that Royal Liberty stepped up considerably on his debut when winning at Brighton showing a good attitude to beat a well-backed favourite and looks capable of further progress but he does have to give weight away all round here. Mountain Approach should come on for his debut run and will be a danger if he settles better this time but there look to be a couple of (on pedigree) useful debutantes here in Up Sticks And Go and ONESARNIESHORT and it’s the latter that gets the vote to make a winning debut.
