Forecasts

Bennie Boy (11/4), Fame And Concrete (7/2), Deeper Blue (4/1), I'm Spellbound (6/1), Softkore (13/2), Sol Plum Creek (14/1), Charyn Canyon (25/1), Saddlers Quest (28/1), Poppop (28/1), Idols's Eye (33/1), Eairsidh (50/1), Dunefinch (80/1)

BENNIE BOY showed plenty when third behind a subsequent winner at Ffos Las on debut in October and can put his experience to good use. Deeper Blue and Softkore make most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.
