Forecasts

Carausius (13/8), Raymond (15/8), Soros (4/1), Deluxe Music (13/2), Lantiern (13/2), Steel An Icon (14/1), Root Sixty Six (25/1), Toscan Genius (25/1), Denable (28/1), Admiral Percy (40/1), Accompanied (200/1)

SOROS has an above-average pedigree and showed plenty of ability amidst greenness when second over C&D on debut. That experience of the surface gives him an edge over Raymond, who looks his chief rival ahead of Carausius.
