Forecasts

Ancient Truth (5/2), Bold Impact (4/1), Principality (13/2), Megaphone (13/2), El Burhan (15/2), Patrol (15/2), Redorange (8/1), Berkshire Smudge (10/1), Brindavan (25/1)

Dubawi colt ANCIENT TRUTH is the percentage call given his stable's strike rate with newcomers. Megaphone and Principality hail from yards that have good records in this so are others to consider in a race in which the market should guide.
