Forecasts

City Of Troy (6/4), School Of Law (7/2), Huxley (13/2), Instant Appeal (17/2), Rapid Mission (9/1), Galen (12/1), Slurricane (20/1), Badda Bing (25/1), Auguste Lumiere (33/1), King Of Gosford (33/1), Burn The Bridges (40/1), Koniag (50/1), Truly Kodi (66/1)

This promises to prove an informative maiden and it could be worth chancing Donnacha O'Brien's HUXLEY. He shaped much better than the bare result in a C&D maiden on debut 24 days ago, denied a run over 1f out and noted finishing with running left and rates the type to improve significantly. Newcomer City of Troy is just one noteworthy newcomer, with School of Law and Slurricane others worth a look.
