Forecasts

Inside Man (8/15), Kingly Fighter (11/2), Kauto Castillo (6/1), Outside Half (17/2), Great Valley (14/1), Bobacious (40/1), Vinnie O'Neil (50/1), Catboy (66/1), Pivotal Sky (100/1), Speiriuil (125/1), Lord Of All Saints (150/1)

INSIDE MAN pulled clear with a subsequent listed winner on debut and he should make no mistake at the second attempt. Kingly Fighter and Outside Half look the most appealing of the numerous newcomers in opposition.
