Forecasts

Bold Act (1/3), Relentless Voyager (9/2), Limelight (11/1), Alba Longa (12/1), The Renegade (16/1), States Of Thunder (33/1), Fully Deployed (50/1), Charming Lily (100/1), Victory House (125/1), Al Ghanim (200/1), Invincible Heir (200/1)

BOLD ACT made short work of ordinary opposition at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and this well-bred colt is certainly in the right hands to progress. He's fancied to concede a penalty, probably at the main expense of Relentless Voyager unless a newcomer is above average.
