Forecasts

Eternal Silence (8/11), Sharlouk (6/5), Subzero (2/1), Torivega (11/2), Prove It (10/1), Many Tears (11/1), Hero Blues (22/1), Mobilise (50/1), Trishuli River (66/1), Cholita (66/1), Mimosa Park (150/1), Surviving Murmansk (150/1), Famous Enough (150/1), National Question (200/1)

ETERNAL SILENCE acquitted herself really well in Group 1 company on her final start last term and should prove hard to beat in the opener. Subzero and Sharlouk rate the principal dangers.
