Forecasts

Midnight Badger (7/2), Duke Of Sussex (9/2), Atomic Blonde (5/1), Qunetra (7/1), Imperial Duke (9/1), Dark Vision (10/1), Putins Promise (11/1), Dawn Of A New Era (12/1), Lets Talk (12/1), El Romiachi (20/1), Cairon (20/1), Emaline (22/1), Willo'thewisp (25/1), Whipping Boy (33/1), Riveting (33/1), Tartan Dancer (33/1), Supa Mufti (50/1)

Verdict

ATOMIC BLONDE's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and he could be difficult to catch. Duke Of Sussex is the most prudent second option, while Putins Promise is another to come into the reckoning.

  1. ATOMIC BLONDE (SAF)
  2. DUKE OF SUSSEX (SAF)
  3. PUTINS PROMISE (SAF)
