Forecasts

Laneqash (6/4), Spirit Mixer (7/2), Megallan (7/2), Motataabeq (7/1), Outback Boy (17/2), French Conquest (10/1), Escobedo (12/1), Freddy Flintshire (12/1), Ajrad (22/1), Laxton Ladd (25/1), The Whipmaster (66/1), Impacoble (200/1)

Andrew Balding has a fine 20 per-cent strike-rate with his juveniles this season and SPIRIT MIXER may improve that in this newcomers contest. He makes solid appeal on paper with champion jockey Oisin Murphy on board. Kingman colt Megallan and £175,000 yearling Laneqash are viable alternatives.
