Forecasts

Tadej (1/1), Art Lover (6/1), Lieutenant Kije (13/2), Do Or Do Not (8/1), Anashhad (8/1), Mister Freeman (18/1), Champion Island (20/1), Strength of Spirit (20/1), Advance Twentyfive (25/1), Beach Partee (28/1), Alfa Patisserie (80/1), Auspicious (80/1)

Probably a strong novice and TADEJ can make his experience count and get off the mark. Dangers come in the form of a host of interesting newcomers. headed by Anashhad and Art Lover representing top Newmarket stables.
