Forecasts

One Nation (11/8), Stormbuster (9/4), Golden Speech (10/1), Grand Central (10/1), Omniking (11/1), The Parent (12/1), Buy The Dip (20/1), Captain Cuddles (22/1), Chindwin (40/1), Enochdhu (66/1), Chourmo (100/1)

Some interesting newcomers, but STORMBUSTER is bred to be smart and ran to a high level on debut at Newbury, so he's preferred to twice-raced Godolphin colt One Nation, who's shown almost the same lavel of form, and is bred to do better himself. The Parent and Omniking cost the high prices that might be expected for colts so well bred, and they are highly respected newcomers who need a market check at least.
