Forecasts

Prince Maxi (4/11), Parramount (7/2), Aerospace (9/1), Helter Skelter (12/1), Youm Jameel (16/1), Outdone (100/1), A Twist Of Time (125/1), Royal Observatory (200/1)

PRINCE MAXI had finished mid-division in a hot Newmarket novice last spring (when trained by Richard Hannon) and confirmed that debut promise 10 months on when winning a similar event here with any amount in hand 5 weeks ago. He looks a useful prospect so should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Helter Skelter and Aerospace both showed ability for their previous yards so are respected, though the latter is returning from a long absence.
