Forecasts

Newfangled (4/1), My Ambition (4/1), Windsor Pass (11/2), Racing Demon (11/2), Drumstick (17/2), Buy The Dip (11/1), Darvel (11/1), Saturnalia (14/1), English Spirit (14/1), Vellner (14/1), Hover (22/1), Marsh Benham (25/1), Mybad (33/1), Huxley (100/1)

NEWFANGLED represents a stable going well and saw off a lightly-raced improver with a bit to spare on his most recent start at Lingfield 23 days ago. A 3 lb rise for that victory looks fair and he looks to hold prime claims once more back on turf. Drumstick and My Ambition arrive in good nick and are feared, with Buy The Dip and Windsor Pass others in the mix.
