Forecasts

Dancing Gemini (7/2), Watcha Matey (9/2), Jubilee Walk (9/2), Mad Punter (9/2), Crimson Road (6/1), Aragon Castle (7/1), Letmebetheboss (14/1), Unreal Connection (25/1), Mr Cliff (33/1), Whathappensinvegas (33/1), Metallo (40/1)

The market should reveal plenty in this juvenile maiden and James Ferguson's JUBILEE WALK, bred to be useful, is taken to go in at the first time of asking ahead of fellow newcomer Aragon Castle. Watcha Matey appeals as the best of those with experience and can claim minor honours once more.
