Forecasts

Domenico Contarini (7/4), Flying Squad (5/2), Heraldry (4/1), Get Outta Here (6/1), Kenergy (11/1), Zatsgood (12/1), Big Eagle (50/1), Mick The Hat (80/1), Master Dancer (300/1), Trade Marked (300/1)

Verdict

DOMENICO CONTARINI shaped with bags of promise when runner-up at Newcastle on debut 6 weeks ago and this useful prospect should take the beating. Heraldry showed plenty to work on at Newcastle in November and this well-connected colt rates the main threat.
