Forecasts

Alablaq (3/1), Paws For Thought (4/1), A Boy Named Ivy (13/2), Chica Bella (7/1), First Greyed (15/2), Grantley (8/1), Rommel (8/1), Desert History (9/1), Serious Intention (16/1), Spanish Hustle (16/1)

Not exactly the kind of contest for displaying a strong and firm opinion, although the sneaking suspicion is that the handicapper has set the Scottish scorers A Boy Named Ivy (7f) and First Greyed (6f) plenty to do on their respective nursery debuts. Therefore, greater value is sought elsewhere in the shape of the James Tate-trained DESERT HISTORY. Assuming that the application of headgear (sports a first-time hood) allows him to settle more easily than at Thirsk, he could be just the type to step forward and spring a minor surprise. Meanwhile, Tom Dascombe's Paws For Thought ranks as another to consider.
