Forecasts

Caballo De Guerra (5/2), Oberon Hill (7/2), Krugerrand (4/1), Dilly's Gunner (8/1), Eagles Reprieve (10/1), Cap Ricochet (12/1), Midsummer Dream (12/1), Mystical Martika (16/1), Blue Sky At Night (40/1)

The market should prove revealing but Lucinda Russell looks to hold a strong hand and CABALLO DE GUERRA is taken to go in at the first time of asking. Krugerrand could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent Newcastle second, with Russell's other debutants Mystical Martika and Eagles Reprieve also worthy of consideration.
