Forecasts

Formal Display (8/13), Cathal (10/3), Emphasis (15/2), Going Remote (8/1), Nine Lives (10/1), The Old Nine (25/1), Meteor Storm (40/1), Goodbye Venice (100/1), Bucaneer's Spirit (125/1), Solar Falcon (125/1), The Ukulele Style (200/1), Frankie Reynolds (200/1), Pomham Rocks (200/1), Fivecromwellplace (250/1)

FORMAL DISPLAY wasn't beaten that far in a Group 2 on only his second start and sets the bar pretty high for a maiden, particularly as there's likely even more to come. Going Remote shaped quite well last time and might be the one for the forecast spot ahead of Cathal, who more then hinted at ability in the Goffs Million on his debut. The Old Nine cost plenty as a yearling and is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
