Forecasts

Kingdom Of Riches (10/11), Cool Dividend (6/4), Dubai Venture (9/1), Liveandletlive (16/1), Redhot Whisper (18/1), Trois Blancs (18/1), Try Line (25/1), Tactical Control (80/1), Balmanzor (300/1)

KINGDOM OF RICHES made an encouraging start to his career when second at Ascot a couple of weeks ago and is preferred to fellow debut runner-up Cool Dividend in a contest which could develop into a straight fight between that pair unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of one or more of the newcomers.
