Forecasts

Anno Domini (11/10), Aegean Sea (16/5), Windlord (4/1), Hawksbill (12/1), Mighty Ruler (16/1), Arctic Grey (16/1), Pantile Warrior (25/1), Angel Hunter (28/1), Aneedah Hero (50/1), Respiro Solitario (66/1), Kon'nichiwa (125/1)

ANNO DOMINI won more impressively than the final margin suggests when justifying market confidence at Newbury on debut 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat under a penalty. Aegean Sea and Windlord both made promising starts when hitting the frame in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago so are feared most.
