Forecasts

Sea The Sunset (15/8), Montesecco (11/4), Take A Stand (7/2), Murphy's Dream (11/2), Greyart (9/1), Thoughtful Gift (20/1), Ummsuquaim (25/1), Photo Bomb (33/1), Maffeo Barberini (50/1), The Evaporust Kid (80/1)

The market should prove revealing with five newcomers on show, but Charlie Appleby's MONTESECCO is fancied to take a big step forward from his debut C&D fifth and open his account. Murphy's Dream holds solid form claims and is next on the list, although a market move for either of the newcomers Sea The Sunset and Take A Stand would put a slightly different slant on things.
