Forecasts

Innvincible Friend (7/2), Bjorn Ironside (5/1), Daring Legend (5/1), Thunder Blue (11/2), Twilight Romance (7/1), The Camden Colt (10/1), Soldier's Gold (10/1), Shagraan (12/1), Only In Jakarta (20/1), Ihopeyoulike (40/1), Charlie Mason (80/1), Eternal Fortune (125/1)

THE CAMDEN COLT was too green to do himself justice at Chester 2 weeks ago but he looks open to significant improvement and can get the better of Innvincible Friend this time. The rest of the field are made up of newcomers, with Bjorn Ironside and Thunder Blue making most appeal before market clues.
