Forecasts

Palladas (6/5), Al Azd (5/2), Exmoor (7/1), Stay Salty (15/2), Empirical (12/1), Shafdar (20/1), Naval Tribute (22/1), Oro Palacio (25/1), The Ubermensch (33/1), Where's The Picnic (50/1), Warm Waters (125/1), Tonyfromhr (150/1), Lion City (300/1)

A number of these look longer-term projects and it could pay to side with one of the newcomers. STAY SALTY, Palladas and Exmoor all rate likely types on paper and are selected in that order of preference before market clues. Of those with previous form Empirical rates the type to continue progressing and is also respected. Naval Tribute, runner-up 3 times in bumpers, completes the shortlist.
