Forecasts

Fabrizio (9/4), Host (10/3), Farasi Lane (7/2), Cotai Bear (4/1), Lightening Shore (10/1), Basilicata (20/1)

None of these can be completely ruled out, but the one with obvious potential is the Frankel colt FABRIZIO. He bumped into a useful rival when runner-up at Chelmsford and is open to plenty of improvement now pitched into a nursery off a potentially lenient opening mark. Host looks nailed-on for another prominent showing, but there's greater depth to Farasi Lane's form and he is second choice.
