Forecasts

Side Shot (5/2), Ridgeway Avenue (16/5), Ajrad (4/1), Hickory (7/1), Mihrab (8/1), Realist (12/1), Almaan (16/1), The Whipmaster (20/1), Mendenhall (33/1)

This can go to RIDGEWAY AVENUE, who is bred in the purple and shaped very well on his York debut. Ajrad also made a promising racecourse bow and rates the likeliest danger whilst Side Shot could be the pick of an interesting bunch of newcomers.
