Forecasts

Houstonn (6/5), Matsuri (11/4), God's Window (11/4), Hosaamm (5/1), La Pasionaria (8/1), Oh What Fun (11/1), Normandy Legend (20/1), Promethean (66/1), Magnum Opus (66/1), Double Red (66/1), Midnight Rumble (80/1), Warmonger (200/1)

Verdict

HOUSTONN sets a high standard and the well-bred colt should have no problem opening his account at the third attempt. Dangers come in the shape of newcomers, Matsuri and La Pasionaria a couple of the more interesting ones.
