Megaphone²¹⁴

Weight: 9-4| Age: 2

T: G Boughey J: Jason Hart

Forecasts

Megaphone (6/4), Midnight City (9/4), Desert Champion (3/1), Line Of Force (8/1), Toughly (28/1), Thunder Earthlight (40/1), Goldrush Glory (40/1), Echo Of Glory (50/1), Sharp Call (125/1), Lily's Symphony (250/1)

MEGAPHONE hasn't been seen since his debut in May but hinted at promise on that occasion and can strike for new trainer George Boughey. Desert Champion is another likely to improve for his first run and might provide the main threat ahead of more-established pair Line of Force and Midnight City.
