Forecasts

Royal Officer (5/4), Attack (7/4), Aegean Sea (11/1), Consolidation (11/1), Maximus Alexios (14/1), Windlord (20/1), Caspian King (33/1), Dividend (50/1), Moon Sniper (50/1), Jet Packer (50/1), Van Aert (100/1), Charming Fellow (150/1)

ROYAL OFFICER fetched 1 million at the Craven Breeze-Up sales, the most expensive horse at the auction, and is hard to get away from first time up. The betting will obviously be informative, with Consolidation, another who fetched a tidy sum at Newmarket, interesting on debut. Attack has strong claims having shaped promisingly at Yarmouth and looking sure to improve.
