Forecasts

Komachi (5/6), Daddy Frank (7/2), Polar Fleece (11/2), Moraweth (15/2), Expect To Succeed (14/1), Captain Cooper (14/1), Elakazaam (25/1), Copake (33/1), Neon City (40/1), Roby Mill (66/1), Able Love (300/1)

KOMACHI sets a clear high standard for the others to beat after his Kempton debut third and more improvement is very likely so he's difficult to oppose. Daddy Frank and Polar Fleece are both interesting newcomers who make most appeal against the Godolphin colt.
