Forecasts

Nader King (5/2), Alshadhian (5/1), King Of Steel (11/2), Climate Precedent (11/2), In The Trenches (8/1), Cello (11/1), Mr Boson (11/1), Twoforthegutter (11/1), Star (33/1), Super Spy (400/1)

It looks significant that KING OF STEEL holds an entry for the Futurity Stakes at Doncaster later this month and the son of Wootton Bassett is taken to make a winning start. Nader King showed ability in what was probably a good maiden at Yarmouth so rates a threat, with Alshadhian and Cello a couple of other newcomers to note.
