Forecasts

Yantarni (8/15), Asean Legend (15/8), Security Code (6/1), Thunder Valley (33/1), Battle Point (33/1), Letter Of The Law (50/1), Postwick (66/1), Carte Rouge (80/1), Amjad (150/1), Five Wells (150/1), Byhookorbycrook (250/1)

Unless the betting speaks in the favour of the Gosden's newcomer this could develop into a straight fight between YANTARNI and Asean Legend, who both displayed significant promise when runner-up on debut. The performance of the former amidst greenness was particularly eyecatching so he's narrowly preferred.
