Forecasts

Angel Of Anfield (8/11), Regional Rock (7/2), Dubai Time (4/1), King Of Chaos (15/2), Born Slippy (12/1), White Ladder (12/1), Mwaki (14/1), Superstorm (16/1), Silver State (18/1), Barry The Worm (22/1), Calabrian Soldato (50/1), Torbay (66/1), Steel Drum (100/1)

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to Ralph Beckett's Territories colt REGIONAL ROCK who catches the eye on paper and is taken to go in at the chief expense of fellow newcomer White Ladder who is also bred to be well above average. Angel of Anfield appeals as much the pick of those with experience and can also have a say.
