Forecasts

Economics (4/6), Amphius (7/1), Sedgemoor (11/1), Clove Hitch (12/1), Miletus (14/1), Glam Squad (16/1), Under Siege (20/1), Pasha (20/1), Sheila's Paradise (20/1), Galyx (25/1), Darysina Gold (28/1), Mamdoh (33/1), Waistcoat (66/1), Ganton (66/1), Paradoxical (80/1), Sense Of Reason (100/1), Spartan Times (250/1)

ECONOMICS shaped well in a good Newmarket maiden in November and this Dante/Derby entrant looks the one to beat. Pasha left her debut behind when sixth in a big field at Newmarket in September and is next best starting out for a new yard, while Amphius makes the most appeal of the newcomers.
