Forecasts

Sa Fureur (9/4), La Malmason (7/2), Time Marches On (9/2), Changing The Rules (6/1), Hartur D'arc (10/1), Meetingofthewaters (11/1), Starzov (12/1), Nephin Beg (20/1), Elusive Guy (66/1)

Verdict

There was much to like about the way SA FUREUR went about his business when landing a big-field maiden here recently and, with improvement likely now faced with a stiffer test, he could be the answer. Time Marches On is still a maiden but he has more good efforts than bad ones on his CV and should have a major role to play, while Changing The Rules and the unexposed Nephin Beg are also of interest.
