Forecasts

Creative Queen (9/4), Zain Primus (5/2), Rogue Messiah (10/3), Wezzeer (9/2), Marengo Storm (10/1), Hugh (18/1), That's Random (18/1), King Cherry (100/1), Dontwaryboutathing (125/1), Accommodation (150/1), Menwirr (150/1), Sun Path (400/1)

It's hard to equate what CREATIVE QUEEN achieved when second of 3 at Newcastle in the autumn but this expensive breeze-up buy is in expert hands, so a much bigger performance may well be in the offing. Wezzeer ticks plenty of boxes so market support for him on debut would looks significant. Zain Primus is another with more to offer.
