Forecasts

Mytilda (7/4), Bond Chairman (15/8), Diamond Pearl (9/2), Big Boy Harley (17/2), Nabeela (12/1), Joyous Days (40/1)

Some potentially fairly useful juveniles on show and the market should reveal plenty. Marginal preference is for DIAMOND PEARL who catches the eye on pedigree and hails from a yard that can ready its newcomers. Mytilda has the benefit of experience and is sure to pose a stern challenge, while Nabeela is another debutante who is worth a second look.
