Forecasts

Balranald (7/4), Shaws Bridge (9/2), Fivetotwelve (11/2), Blazing Port (9/1), Native Choice (10/1), East Harlem (11/1), Cossack Dancer (12/1), Balkalin (14/1), Ginger Du Val (18/1), Famous Moment (33/1), Diamond Road (150/1)

The betting will prove useful in assessing the chances of the handicap debutantes but BALRANALD arrives on the back of a solid second over shorter at Musselburgh recently and a repeat should see him go very close with Brian Hughes booked. Native Choice, Blazing Port and Cossack Dancer head up the dangers.
