Forecasts

Mister Ambassador (2/1), Armed (11/4), Monoxide (7/2), Daisy Chain (6/1), Orange Suit (8/1), Ben Vrackie (12/1), Astromachia (25/1), Dazzling Rock (25/1), Al Kherb (33/1), Skill Set (33/1), Lyn's Secret (100/1), Tin Fandango (125/1), Ensign Ewart (150/1)

There are quite a few in this that have made promising starts to their careers and it looks a decent novice event that will produce winners. MONOXIDE is taken to build on his two starts so far and make it third time lucky having shown improved form at Sandown last time. Armed will be suited by this trip and looks another improver along with Orange Suit (the only winner in the field) and Daisy Chain. Dazzling Rock may yet need further than this but should be respected along with what look to be on pedigree a useful set of newcomers headed by Ben Vrackie and Al Kherb.
