Forecasts

Lake Victoria (5/2), Red Letter (5/2), And So To Bed (6/1), Dahlia Noir (7/1), Bay Colony (11/1), Exactly (12/1), Marazion (14/1), Murkala (20/1), Valencia (25/1), Senna's Girl (40/1), Mykonian Odyssey (40/1), Vlhova (50/1), Blondina (80/1), Lovely (100/1), Cala Margarida (300/1)

Plenty of depth to this maiden. DAHLIA NOIR and And So To Bed both showed plenty of promise amidst obvious signs of inexperience on debut and seem sure to know more this time. Marginal preference is for the former. There's a good-looking bunch of debutantes to consider, too, notably the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair Lake Victoria and Exactly.
