Forecasts

Exquisitely (15/8), Tephi (5/2), Royal Mariner (9/2), Democracy Dilemma (5/1), Wakai Umi (8/1), Dunnington Lad (66/1)

TEPHI represents a stable in terrific form and she could find improvement on her tapeta/nursery debut, so she gets the marginal vote ahead of Exquisitely, who was just touched off in a novice at Newcastle last time. Wakai Umi, who scored at Dundalk last time, is also appealing on debut for a new yard.
