Forecasts

Commanding Prince (6/4), Thapa VC (9/4), Island Bandit (9/2), Star Pupil (17/2), My Ambition (9/1)

The well-bred COMMANDING PRINCE is very much unexposed on his handicap debut. He can land the hat-trick at the expense of fellow turf debutant Star Pupil, who has already bagged 2 wins on the all-weather this year. Thapa Vc and My Ambition both made pleasing reappearances at this track last month and can fight it out for minor honours.
