Forecasts

Celeborn (11/10), Square D'alboni (10/3), King Of Angels (6/1), Cymbidium (15/2), Solarize (10/1), Bentbasa (16/1), Feeling High (18/1), Grecian Legacy (20/1), Green Pursuit (22/1), Graduated (40/1), Georginio (40/1), Time May Tell (50/1), Sundown Kid (66/1), Mission In Malton (125/1)

The market strength behind CELEBORN on debut suggests he's well regarded by the George Boughey team and he can leave that bare form behind and make it 2-2. The chief threat may come from newcomers, with Solarize and Square d'Alboni looking the part on breeding.
