Forecasts

Seacruiser (5/2), Mighty Boy (10/3), Pantile Warrior (4/1), Watching Stars (5/1), Regal Ulixes (12/1), Sir William (14/1), Glittering Legend (20/1), Stormy Monday (25/1), Whatcombe (28/1), Pistrucci (80/1)

Plenty of good stable's are represented in this opener. PANTILE WARRIOR has achieved enough to think he can win a race like this and gets the nod ahead of Godolphin's Watching Stars and Deauville runner-up Mighty Boy. Seacruiser and Regal Ulixes are newcomers to monitor closely in the betting.
