Forecasts

King's Reign (2/1), Los Toldos (11/4), Torrent (3/1), Forest Fairy (10/3), Flickering Halo (8/1), Carnival Day (20/1), What A Night (125/1), Succeed (200/1)

Both Charlie Appleby-trained newcomers cost a fortune and the chances are that one of them will make a winning start. Marginal preference is for KING'S REIGN over Los Toldos, with Torrent the obvious candidate to capitalise if both disappoint.
