Forecasts

No Retreat (5/6), Sisyphean (15/8), Native King (6/1), Bluestone (14/1), Superfluidity (20/1), Sycamore Gap (28/1), Letsbefrank (80/1), Fairfax Beauty (100/1), Born To Charm (150/1), Highland Laird (150/1)

Verdict

Roger Varian's Siyouni colt NO RETREAT comes with a hefty sales tag and holds a Group 1 entry so is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Kevin Ryan's form choice Sisyphean. George Boughey saddles two of interest in the shape of Native King and Superfluidity and they need considering too in an intriguing novice.
