Forecasts

Lafan (1/1), Ajrad (9/4), Adelita (13/2), Enfranchise (9/1), Dembe (28/1), English Spirit (28/1), Sophie (66/1), Silver Reflection (100/1)

ENFRANCHISE has a quality pedigree and may well have enough know-how to make a winning start at the likely expense of Lafan, who offered plenty of promise when fourth at Doncaster first time out. Ajrad is another one to consider.
