Forecasts

Lambert (5/2), Validated (11/4), Magna Vega (10/3), Charming Whisper (6/1), Shield Wall (15/2), Cock And Bull (22/1), Rocket Warrior (28/1), Shelbourne (50/1), Silver Shamrock (50/1), Dylan's Ashes (66/1), Speed Court (125/1)

VALIDATED is bred to be at least useful and his debut third at Kempton a fortnight ago was full of promise. Sure to build on that, he looks the one to beat, for all there's depth to this, with Magna Vega and Lambert a couple of potential threats.
