Crown The Future²

Weight: 9-11| Age: 2

T: Jack Morland J: N Callan

Forecasts

Crown The Future (6/4), Thanh Nam (7/2), Lapidarist (4/1), Diamond Ali (4/1), Mali Star (9/2), Akrivos (7/1), Uncle Nader (9/1), October Surprise (9/1), Chinchin (28/1)

THANH NAM arrives at the top of his game and rates just the pick at these weights so if taken to gain a deserved breakthrough victory at the chief expense of Leicester runner-up Diamond Ali who should benefit from this step up in trip. Mali Star, October Surprise and Tuesday's Wolverhampton scorer Crown The Future also need factoring into this open-looking nursery.
