Forecasts

Completely Random (5/2), Ippotheos (11/4), Caroline Bay (9/2), Power Shot (11/2), Quiet Resolve (7/1), Giorgio M (15/2), Smooth Silesie (33/1), Ten Club (33/1), Maveric's Magic (150/1), Top Flight Century (200/1), Inawe (250/1)

Andrew Balding's newcomer CAROLINE BAY is bred to be sharp so is fancied to get off to a flying start. Giorgio M rates the form pick of those with experience and is next on the list ahead of Mick Appleby's new recruit Ippotheos and Richard Fahey's debutant Quiet Resolve.
