Forecasts

William Bligh (15/8), Rival (11/4), Meritorious (11/4), Scots Gold (16/5), Forest Falcon (15/2), Camelot Star (14/1), Hedwig (16/1), Lightning War (33/1)

Not a race to be dogmatic about without market clues. William Bligh sets the standard, and is sure to go well, but there are several interesting newcomers to take him on with, and RIVAL hails from a yard whose debutants do pay to follow. Forest Falcon is also likely to be well forward for his introduction, and makes the shortlist as a result.
