Forecasts

Hit The Bottle (11/10), Dazibao (9/4), Lermoos Legend (4/1), Staar (12/1), George Edward (16/1)

HIT THE BOTTLE catches the eye on breeding and this represents a realistic opening for a stable well capable of readying a newcomer in this sphere. Lermoos Legend was challenging for a long way on debut and should be stronger for the run. Dazibao is hard to weigh up following a lengthy absence but clearly has ability based on his debut win and a move in the betting would be interesting.
