Forecasts

Chief Red Wing (5/4), Aplaceinthesun (6/1), Afraj (13/2), Dovecote (15/2), Something Coming (17/2), Variety Act (9/1), Hamish Leek (9/1), Meritocratic (18/1), Klammer Express (20/1), Churchill's Spirit (25/1), Ibiza Lights (50/1), Slack Bob (125/1), Family Values (125/1), Fallacious Promise (200/1), King's Courtier (200/1)

A couple of newcomers representing top yards catch the eye and AFRAJ is preferred to Dovecote before any betting clues. Both make plenty of appeal on paper starting out in a maiden that might not take much winning. Chief Red Wing might have more to give up in trip and looks the pick of those with experience.
