Forecasts

Pleasure Garden (10/11), Retrospect (10/3), Hidden Depths (10/3), With Pleasure (12/1), Alexanderthegreat (12/1), Tribal Commander (14/1), Arty Campbell (20/1), Sea Sculpture (22/1), Blazon (25/1), Cogital (33/1), Borak (33/1), Gavlar (33/1), Orsino (66/1)

It's easy enough to whittle this down to the 3-y-os at the foot of the weights. RETROSPECT has to prove himself over this far, but he cost 850,000 gns as a yearling and has plenty about him physically, so he surely has a bigger performance in him. He's marginally preferred to Pleasure Garden, who had his winning sequence ended at Pontefract.
