Forecasts

Seattle (13/8), Lil' Angel (15/8), Remarkable News (7/2), Best Suggestion (16/1), Mercury Power (16/1), Mini Mai (25/1), Sun Soldier (33/1), Sci Fi (33/1), Elegant Grand (33/1), Lady Astronaut (50/1)

€2.2 million buy SEATTLE hasn't been seen since an encouraging debut at York's Dante meeting exactly a year ago but retains bags of potential if all is well and this looks a good opening for him. Lil' Angel is most appealing of the newcomers.
