Forecasts

New Monarch (4/9), El Nay (3/1), Spirit Of Saxony (4/1), I'm Just Ken (33/1), Bumaan (66/1), Kenergy (80/1), Kakirra (150/1), Crimson Dawn (500/1)

NEW MONARCH progressed with each run last season and everything about him physically suggests he'll be even better at 3 yrs, so he's difficult to oppose. Spirit of Saxony caught the eye finishing with a flourish on his debut at Salisbury and is open to plenty of improvement over this extra 1f, while El Nay also enters the reckoning after making an encouraging start to his career at Lingfield recently.
