Forecasts

Intinso (1/2), Ottoman Prince (11/8), Zivaniya (7/2), Khal (15/2), Ajyad (18/1), Alumnus (50/1), Sir Arthur's Boy (50/1)

This doesn't look a deep novice so it would come as no surprise were INTINSO up to the job starting out for the Gosden team. Ajyad is another newcomer to note given her sales price increased markedly this year, with Zivaniya perhaps the pick of those with experience.
