Forecasts

Aerospace (1/1), Cosmic Desert (6/4), Deauville Legend (5/1), Balhambar (12/1), The Raven's Return (40/1), Australian Angel (66/1), Via Serica (100/1), D Day Hero (125/1), From Little Acorns (125/1), Knight's Gambit (150/1), Our Boy Sam (150/1), Gulick (200/1)

AEROSPACE really caught the eye on his debut when fourth at Wolverhampton so this well-related Sea The Stars colt gets the vote at the chief expense of Cosmic Desert, who also looks to have much better days ahead of him judged on his Newmarket debut third. Chelmsford runner-up Deauville Legend and newcomer Balhambar need considering too.
