Forecasts

Silent Applause (7/4), Amorim (10/3), Postmodern (18/5), Peel Park (7/1), Kuu (8/1), Front Line Fury (20/1), Loblolly (25/1), Wild Thoughts (25/1), Guest House (66/1)

A valuable novice stakes that looks set to throw up plenty of winners in due course. In his first full season training for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, George Boughey will be hoping that the speedily bred AMORIM can make a winning start. Silent Applause, the most expensive purchase in the field at 1.4 million guineas, may prove next best ahead of well-bred Mehmas colt Peel Park.
